Abstract
The Natural User Interface (NUI) offers a great potential to create new paradigms of interaction and it also create new challenges about how we interact with the content. We believe that novel applications oriented to academy or research with scientific data can be developed with this paradigm. In a previous research we worked in a model for exploration on scientific databases called “Semantic Exploration Model”, which is based on the use the small semantic structures of information to explore a scientific database thought navigation based on semantic concepts. Our proposal in this research is add a new layer to our model to include Natural User Interaction. This way, we can extend the model to be used on different kind the contexts and it can offer a new potential and the creation of a new generation of applications based on this paradigm.
