Multi-touch, when done correctly, is a subset of a greater discipline called Natural User Interfaces (NUI). NUI includes multi-touch but also speech, in the air gestures, facial recognition, and a lot more. NUI (aka Tangible User Interfaces) is so new its hard to find a decent defintion of it. If anyone can provide a pointer to a good defintion I would love to have it.Thanks to Dave Mark's blog, I found out this morning about a new NUI application developed David Merrill called Siftables. I won't even try to explain it - its best experienced by video. Of course as something really new and cool it was presented at TED - which seems to be the best venue for tapping into the best inventive minds of our century.

But Richard, that isn't NUI, it's XUI, or OUI -- whatever comes beyond NUI.
Hi Josh,
Thanks for the comment. Can you explain then what NUI is and what XUI and OUI is, because I don't have a clear understanding and I can't find a decent definition. Maybe you can blog about it and I'll point back to your blog or just write a comment here either way I'm very interested.
All the best,
Richard
