Perceptual Computing is bringing revolutionary changes to how we interface and interact with computing, communications, and entertainment devices. We are adding human-like “senses” to the computing devices so they will be able to “see”, “hear”, and “understand” the users. With these capabilities, we are enabling natural user interfaces based on touch, gestur
e, and voice to augment the traditional inputs based on the keyboard, mouse, trackballs, joysticks, etc. This talk will review the key technologies, developments and trends towards realizing natural human-computer interactions, and demonstrate a new class of interactive applications and user experiences.
