This group identifies solutions for explicit interaction between a human user and uSpaces. This goes beyond the traditional human-computer interaction (HCI) where the interaction is usually assumed to be bound to one single computer and its peripherals. We address the shift of paradigm from HCI to ''HEI'' – human-environment interaction[[Home#Footnotes|<sup>[1]</sup>]].

HEI, however, includes both the ''implicit'' and the ''explicit'' interaction. In universAAL, the Service Infrastructure and Context Management expert groups deal with the implicit interaction in uSpaces, and the User Interaction Management (UIM) expert group is responsible for the explicit interaction which stayed in the shadow of implicit interaction for a long time[[Home#Footnotes|<sup>[2]</sup>]]. With the proliferation of (multi-)touch sensing, big displays as well as small displays embedded in all possible devices, and new interaction forms supported by special devices (e.g. Nintendo WiiMote and Microsoft Kinect) on one side, and progresses in speech recognition, natural language processing, and gesture recognition on the other side, explicit user interaction in smart environments is becoming more and more important.
