Enactive interfaces are interactive systems that allow organization and transmission of knowledge obtained through action.
[5][6] The enactive interface in the figure interprets manual input and provides a response in perceptual terms in the form of images, sounds, and haptic (tactile) feedback.
Enactive interfaces are then capable of conveying and understanding gestures of the user, in order to provide an adequate response in perceptual terms.
Enactive interfaces can be conceived to exploit this direct loop and the capability of recognizing complex gestures.
In many aspects the enactive knowledge is more natural than the other forms both in terms of the learning process and in the way it is applied in the world.
The aim of this NoE is not only the research on enactive interfaces by itself, but also the integration of the partners through a Virtual Laboratory and the spreading of the expertise and knowledge of the Network.
