// Important Aspects for NUI
• Design for Appropriate User Mindset
(GAME mindset != UI mindset)
• Design for Natural Interactions
• Determine User Intent and Engagement
• Design for Variability of Input
• Make the Gesture Fit the Users’ Task
• Consider User Posture and Movement Ranges
• Teaching Gestures and Discoverability
• Feedback
