Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 UserInterface Toolkit UIT was a C programming language, object oriented programming object oriented layer atop the XView graphical widget toolkit toolkit . It was developed by Sun Microsystems employees Mark Soloway and Joe Warzecha as an internal tools project for Sun s Computer Integrated Manufacturing organization in 1990. In 1991, Soloway got permission from Sun to contribute the UIT to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT X Window System X11 distribution. Soloway continued development on the UIT, subsequently creating and releasing UITV2 in 1992. The source code is freely available.

The Virtual UserInterface or VUI pronounced Viewy is a terminology that is used to describe the interface to a collection of 3D computer graphics three dimensional applications, functions and services running in a virtual world. The VUI is the next generation replacement for the current Graphical User Interfaces we find in our traditional desktop environments today. A VUI client allows multiple users to simultaneously collaborate on and use a single Application software application . You are not required to Installation computer programs install or even launch an application in this space just simply move to the last location you were using it. The virtual desktop is far superior to the traditional 2D GUI or menu desktop as the multidimensional capabilities in conjunction with shared back end processing allow a user to run as many applications as they need. Local versions of VUI s will cache server based copies to allow a local client to replicate a hosted VUI environment when working in a non internet connected space.

A touch userinterface TUI is a computer pointing technology based upon the sense of touch Haptic perception haptics . Whereas a graphical userinterface GUI relies upon the sense of visual perception sight , the TUI enables not only the sense of touch to innervate and activate computer based functions, it also allows the user, particularly those with visual impairment s, an added level of interaction based upon tactile or Braille input. Generally, the TUI requires pressure or presence with a switch located outside of the printed paper . Not to be confused with electronic paper endeavors, the TUI requires the printed pages to act as a template or overlay to a touch switch switch array . By interacting with the switch through touch or presence, an action is innervated. The switching sensor cross references with a database . The database retains the correct pathway to retrieve the associated digital content or launch the appropriate application. TUI icon computing icon s may be used to indicate to the reader of the printed page what action will occur upon interacting with a particular position on the printed page.

It is window and operating system independent, relying on GLUT to handle all system dependent issues, such as window and mouse management. It lacks the features of a more full fledged GUI toolkit such as Qt toolkit Qt , wxWidgets , or FLTK , but it has a very small footprint and is extremely easy to use. A research or demonstration program that originally only uses GLUT can be given a useful control panel using GLUI in a short time, even by someone new to the toolkit. It was first written by Paul Rademacher to help him with his academic work. It is now maintained by Nigel Stewart . Weaknesses include the lack of a properly functioning file chooser perhaps the most frustrating omission and mediocre responsiveness.

Unreferenced date July 2009 A Voice userinterface VUI makes human interaction with computers possible through a voice speech platform in order to initiate an automation automated service or process. A VUI is the interface computing interface to any speech application. Controlling a machine by simply talking to it was science fiction only a short time ago. Until recently, this area was considered to be artificial intelligence . However, with advances in technology, VUIs have become more commonplace, and people are taking advantage of the value that these hands free hands free , eyes free interfaces provide in many situations. However, VUIs are not without their challenges. People have very little patience for a machine that doesn t understand . Therefore, there is little room for error VUIs need to respond to input reliably, or they will be rejected and often ridiculed by their users. Designing a good VUI requires interdisciplinary talents of computer science , linguistics and human factors psychology all of which are skills that are expensive and hard to come by.

UserInterface Privilege Isolation UIPI is a technology introduced in Windows NT 6.0 to combat shatter attack exploits. By making use of Mandatory Integrity Control , it prevents processes with a lower integrity level IL from sending messages to higher IL processes except for a very specific set of UI messages . ref name msdn cite web url http msdn2.microsoft.com en us library aa905330.aspx title The Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 Developer Story Windows Vista Application Development Requirements for User Account Control UAC publisher Microsoft date April 2007 accessdate 2007 12 07 ref Window messages are designed to communicate user action to processes however they can be used to arbitrary code execution run arbitrary code in the receiving process context. This can be used by a malicious low IL process to run arbitrary code in the context of a higher IL process, which constitutes an unauthorized privilege escalation . By restricting access to some vectors for code execution and data injection, UIPI can mitigate these kinds of attacks. ref name coseinc cite web url http www.coseinc.com en index.php?rt download&act publication&file Vista UIPI.ppt.pdf title Windows Vista UIPI author Edgar Barbosa publisher COSEINC accessdate 2011 10 22 ref UIPI, and Mandatory Integrity Control more generally, is not a security boundary. It does not aim to protect against all shatter attacks. UI Accessibility Applications can bypass UIPI by setting their uiAccess value to TRUE as part of their manifest file. This requires the application to be in the Program Files or Windows directory, as well as to be signed by a valid code signing Certificate authority authority , but these requirements will not necessarily stop malware from respecting them. Additionally, some messages are still allowed through, such as code WM KEYDOWN code , which allows a lower IL process to drive input to an elevated ...
