What is Zero-UI?
Zero-UI is an interaction approach that reduces dependence on menus and buttons, using natural inputs such as voice, gestures, and sensors.
How does it work?
Devices combine sensor signals with AI interpretation to infer intent and execute actions.
- Capture intent through voice or sensor input
- Interpret context and select execution options
- Return lightweight feedback with minimal visual UI
Why does it matter?
In wearables, mobility, and robotics, screen-first interaction is often inefficient.
Zero-UI enables faster task execution in hands-busy environments.
