Natural User Interface (NUI) is an emerging concept in human-computer interaction and refers to an interface that enables a user with control over the tool or digital content by relatively natural means of communication. The central ideas of user control include: voice recognition, finger identification, movements or gestures, gaze vector, facial expression, biometrics, and similar. The goal of NUI is to make computing and technology simple to use, everywhere around us, accessible to people with minimal technical expertise, reliable and more intuitive.
Based on Microsoft Kinect, ETRONIKA Kinect App enables users to control and interact with online banking without the need to touch a keyboard or mouse.
The first thing you will notice - the application mirrors human identification by analyzing a user's face, voice, and the ease and simplicity of being identified just by looking at a device and speaking a word. For this ETRONIKA uses its own and third party biometric user authentication and identification technology. If you step back or leave the area observed by the Kinect sensor you will be disconnected from your online banking session.
After logging in, users can navigate the system using voice commands and sweeping hand gestures. You can scroll through the different services, such as accounts, balance, statements, savings and offers, with a swipe of your hand. If you lost - just say "Help".
As an additional security measure, when you login or make a payment you must verify it by entering your PIN code into your mobile phone.
