“…Despite its high prevalence in both academic research and commercial applications (Bhowmik 2013), NUIs are criticised as being ''artificial naturality'' and many types of NUIs are not representing natural human behaviours especially gesture based interactions (Malizia and Bellucci 2012;Norman 2010;Norman and Nielsen 2010). This paper reviews the usefulness of NUIs from a different direction by considering only invisible or ''disappearing'' natural interfaces in Ubiquitous Computing environments.…”

The enhancement of human senses electronically is possible when pervasive computers interact unnoticeably with humans in ubiquitous computing. The design of computer user interfaces towards ''disappearing'' forces the interaction with humans using a content rather than a menu driven approach, thus the emerging requirement for huge number of non-technical users interfacing intuitively with billions of computers in the Internet of Things is met. Learning to use particular applications in ubiquitous computing is either too slow or sometimes impossible so the design of user interfaces must be naturally enough to facilitate intuitive human behaviours. Although humans from different racial, cultural and ethnic backgrounds own the same physiological sensory system, the perception to the same stimuli outside the human bodies can be different. A novel taxonomy for disappearing user interfaces (DUIs) to stimulate human senses and to capture human responses is proposed. Furthermore, applications of DUIs are reviewed. DUIs with sensor and data fusion to simulate the sixth sense is explored. Enhancement of human senses through DUIs and context awareness is discussed as the groundwork enabling smarter wearable devices for interfacing with human emotional memories.
