Objects as Interface, Gesture as Command: Incorporating NUI in the Lower East Side Tenement Museum
This paper will examine the use of Natural User Interfaces in museums. Natural User Interfaces, or NUIs, are computer interfaces that utilize technologies to allow users to naturally interface with computers. Examples of prevalent NUIs include multi-touch technologies, made iconic by Apple's iPhone, and gestural technologies, like those used in the Nintendo Wii and Microsoft Kinect.

Abstract
Where is the museum for the digital generation? We use the term ìthe distributed museumî to describe the form that the museum takes as it is part of the creation and movement among new spaces that comprise contemporary networked learning environments. No longer located in a particular physical space, the museum extends its presence through all sorts of virtual spaces on the Web as well as in the transient spaces created through the diverse practices and technologies of mobility. This paper offers an analytical framework to describe and map the museology of the distributed museum as it unfolds across conceptual divides between physical and the virtual, the fixed and the mobile, and closed and open.
