Humanized User Interface - What It Is and Why You Need To Know About It

We're kicking off 2016 (our 4th year!) with a new name and an event that takes a deep dive into Humanized User Interface™ or (HUI™) - a more accurate description of the technologies typically called NUI. So, this presentation will explore the amazing advancements available today, that can enable apps and devices to interact with us like we do with other people. We'll help attendees to understand the difference between NUI and HUI, what exactly HUI is, where it's headed, how to best use it in projects and products, how to create amazing HUI based user experiences, and touch on some of the array of API's available right now.

HUI™ is the cusp of a shift in UI/UX that every major tech company is investing in and rolling out and a stream of new start-ups are developing API's, devices, and services around. There's no more crucial time for you to grow your knowledge of this than now!

Deb Benkler and Ken Lonyai are well known as New York's HUI™ (and NUI) evangelists. They are co-founders of the planet's largest HUI community, HUI Central™ and have worked closely with Microsoft and IBM, managing really cool HUI oriented hackathons including the NUI Central Watson Hackathon and NUI Central Kinect for Windows Hackathon 2015.

In 2016, the pair are leveraging their expertise by launching a dev studio/consultancy called humanize™, to guide brands in the development of apps/products/services that utilize HUI to deliver more meaningful and engaging user experiences to their customers.

The two were at the helm when ScreenPlay InterActive received a 2012 User Experience Award (a UXie) as well as the company's creation of a bunch of leading edge technologies that utilize all five senses interactively.
