Brave NUI world : designing natural user interfaces for touch and gesture /

Show other versions (1)

Touch and gestural devices have been hailed as next evolutionary step in human-computer interaction. As software companies struggle to catch up with one another in terms of developing the next great touch-based interface, designers are charged with the daunting task of keeping up with the advances i...
