Gesture-oriented data sharing

Recently, Natural User Interface (NUI) devices have emerged as viable tools for business task completion and information exchange. When introduced into a collaborative environment, new security implications arise as the traditional relationships between users and devices change. Unique variables are introduced such as gesture patterns, spatial location, and more. Security policies would need to reflect the relationships between not only users and devices, but also these new modalities. This paper describes an extensible platform developed to foster collaboration through natural user interfaces. It also discusses specific components that have opened research avenues into workflow semantics studies and persistent authentication mechanisms for such environments.
