Abstract

The way people interact with computers is radically changing nowadays. All of us 
are impressed with all the interesting things that have come up in the industry, 
such as multi-touch screens in your iPhone, speech recognition in your GPS, 
gestures in your Wii Video Game console, etc. Indeed, these technologies are 
changing the human behavior when interacting with computers and the market will 
demand better user interactions sooner than we really expect. Have you realized 
how far most of the developers are from this level of technology? We aim to 
demonstrate the way the Java Platform can help most of the people to enjoy all 
benefits brought by new kinds of user interaction.
