Sophisticated user interfaces are now technologically possible as we have moved from mouse and joystick to the stylus for the Palm, the trackwheel of the iPod, the touchscreen of the iPhone, the gesture recognition of Wii applications and immersive environments like the CAVE. The new frontier in user interfaces and interaction is that of mixed-reality applications which allow many different modes of interaction with the real and virtual worlds, and allow novel kinds of feedback from real to virtual and virtual to real. This project develops components and tools to build software components that will enable application designers to express their creativity without getting bogged down in the nitty-gritty detail of handling a variety of different input and output devices. This will enable a transformation not only in software but the way that software will be used. The tools will be evaluated by end users of the mixed reality applications and the designers for their ability to enhance creativity. More broadly, these tools will lead to new forms of communicating ideas, user interaction and collaboration. Additional impact will be achieved by broad dissemination of the research results, the open-source distribution of the tools developed by the project, and the involvement in the research of students from a broad range of economic, cultural and ethnic backgrounds.

复杂的用户界面现在在技术上是可能的，因为我们已经从鼠标和操纵杆转向Palm的触控笔、iPod的滚轮、iPhone的触摸屏、Wii应用程序的手势识别，以及像CAVE这样的沉浸式环境。用户界面和交互的新前沿是混合现实应用程序，它允许与现实和虚拟世界进行多种不同的交互模式，并允许从真实到虚拟和从虚拟到真实的新颖类型的反馈。该项目开发组件和工具来构建软件组件，使应用程序设计人员能够在不陷入处理各种不同输入和输出设备的具体细节的情况下表达他们的创造力。这不仅将使软件发生变革，而且将使软件的使用方式发生变化。这些工具将由混合现实应用程序的最终用户和设计者评估其增强创造力的能力。更广泛地说，这些工具将带来交流思想、用户互动和合作的新形式。通过广泛传播研究成果、开放源码分发该项目开发的工具以及让来自广泛经济、文化和族裔背景的学生参与研究，将产生更大的影响。
