Summary:The spread of Natural Interfaces, based on devices which allow the retrieval to the Human Computer Interaction of natural paradigms of human interaction (sound, voice, touch, movement), limiting graphic interfaces: the interaction doesn’t occur “through the mirror” (Carroll, 2012) of the screen, but it takes place through movement, in the natural space of the user, in relation to an augmented (digital) umwelt that inter-acts continuously with the user’s whole body. The aim of this work is to present natural interfaces as the tool that constitutes the effective place of convergence between body and movement, manipulation of spatial reference systems and man-machine interaction, and inquire the possible didactic declinations.
