The NITE Workbench for Annotating Natural Interactive Behaviour
Niels Ole Bernsen, Laila Dybkjær, Mykola Kolodnytsky · 2003
This paper addresses the emergence of much-needed general-purpose natural interactivity coding tools. In particular, the NITE (Natural Interactivity Tools Engineering) project is currently completing three toolsets for the annotation and analysis of natural interactive communication data. The tools share a common requirements specification but are otherwise quite different. The paper briefly presents the state of the art in the field, discusses the common NITE specification, compares the three NITE tools, and describes in more detail the tool developed by the authors, i.e. the NITE Workbench for Windows or NWB. 1
