User Interface Technologies (discontinued) - overview
User Interface Technologies (UIT) centers around the emerging and future interface technologies that support Human Computer Interaction (HCI). UIT research focuses on the enabling technologies that help computers hear (speech recognition, speaker recognition and verification), see (face, gesture, gaze & handwriting recognition and object tracking), speak (speech synthesis, facial synthesis), and sense (affect recognition, sensor technologies); and to understand and combine these in multimodal ways.
