INVITATION
Dear Sir/ Madam,
I am cordially pleased to invite you to attend our ITRC 2015 International
Workshop on Immersive and Interactive NUI/NUX Platform (I²N²) to be
held at Dongguk University, Seoul, Rep. of Korea, on 24st April 2015.
NUI(Natural User Interface) and NUX(Natural User eXperience) Technology
are becoming more influential in our life style, and NUI/NUX
are at the heart of many next-generation game, smart services, media
services, medical, engineering, and industrial applications.
As the world leaders of NUI/NUX research and development, the 2015
ITRC International Workshop on Immersive and Interactive NUI/NUX
Platform (I²N²) in Korea provides you a good opportunity to share and
discuss your latest work, which will excite and broaden our common
interests and individual experiences as well.
I thank your precious time sharing and kind concerns, and I am looking
forward to your active participation in the 2015 ITRC International
Workshop.
Yours sincerely,
Director of NUI/NUX Platform Research Center(ITRC)
Kyungeun Cho, Dongguk University, Rep. of Korea
April 24, 2015
