Possible changes to your unit's learning activities and assessment items
As a result of the Australian Government's and or the ACT Government’s directives requiring physical distancing and restrictions on movement because of the COVID-19 pandemic, you may find that learning activities and/or assessment items in some units you are studying have changed. These changes will not be updated in the published Unit Outline but will be communicated to you via your unit’s UCLearn(Canvas) teaching site. The new learning activities and/or assessment items will continue to meet the unit's learning outcomes, as described in the Unit Outline.
New learning activities and/or assessment items are available on your unit's UCLearn(Canvas) teaching site. Please contact your Unit Convener with any questions.

Syllabus
This unit examines object-oriented programming and design patterns for building advanced natural user interface (NUI) applications. Topics covered in the unit include: evolving human-computer interaction, new and intuitive ways to interact with computers, NUI components (multi-touch, face- and voice-recognition, movement sensors, gestures, etc.), programming NUI applications using Android tablet SDK, MS Visual Studio, MS Expression Blend, XNA, Kinect SDK and Surface SDK.
Learning Outcomes
On successfully completing the unit, students will be able to:
1. Understand the basics of NUIs;
2. Understand how NUIs are formed and represented;
3. Understand the concepts of fundamental theories in NUI;
4. Write programs for performing NUI tasks;
5. Choose appropriate NUI techniques to solve real-world problems;
6. Understand the relationships between NUI and fields such as biometric recognition, artificial intelligence and pattern recognition;
7. Demonstrate advanced knowledge of NUI programming techniques; and
8. Use NUI components for implementing applications in MS Visual Studio, MS Expression, MS XNA, MS Kinect SDK and MS Surface SDK, and have the confidence to handle the real-world NUI programming problems.
