A bi-invariant Haar measure is a Haar measure that is both left invariant and right invariant.
The Haar measure plays an important role in the development of Fourier analysis and representation theory on locally compact groups such as

 Alfred Haar
Haar travelled to Germany in 1904 to study at Göttingen and there he studied under Hilbert's supervision, obtaining his doctorate in 1909.
Haar then taught at Göttingen until 1912 when he returned to Hungary and held chairs at the university in Kolozsvár (which is now Cluj in Romania), Budapest University and Szeged University.
In 1932 he introduced a measure on groups, now called the Haar measure, which allows an analogue of Lebesgue integrals to be defined on locally compact topological groups.

 Measure (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Measure theory is that branch of real analysis which investigates σ-algebras, measures, measurable functions and integrals.
A measure can be extended to a complete one by considering the σ-algebra of subsets Y which differ by a negligible set from a measurable set X, that is, such that the symmetric difference of X and Y is contained in a null set.
The Haar measure for a locally compact topological group is a generalization of the Lebesgue measure and has a similar uniqueness property.

It is well-known that the Haar measure on a locally compact topological group is finite if and only if this group is compact.
The union of K and xK is a compact subset whose Haar measure is the twofold of the measure of K. By iteration it follows that A contains compact subsets of arbitrarily large measure.
In particular, the Haar measure of A is not finite.)

Indeed, the author does an excellent job in presenting measure theory in its entire generality semi-rings, rings, hereditary rings, algebras, sigma algebras and their extensions are all considered in detail, as well as measures on these set systems: finitely additive, sigma additive, inner measures, outer measures, sigma-finite measures, the completion of measures, regular measures).
for nonnegative measurable f to be integrable it requires a sequence fn of simple functions that is mean fundamental and converges in measure to f; compare this with the simpler definition of the integral of measurable f being the sup of Lesbegue integrals of simple functions g for which g <= f).
My impression of measure theory has gone from seeing it as abstract mathematical machinery for simplifying analysis proofs, to a kind of mathematical philosophy that unifies the infinite with the discrete, and lays the proper foundations for inference, probabilistic reasoning, and learning; i.e.

Such a measure is called a Haar measure.
The most important applications of Haar measure are concerned with the theory of continuous representations.
Integration with respect to a Haar measure allows one to transfer to compact groups a significant part of the theory of representations of finite groups (for example, the orthogonality relation for characters, or for matrix entries), and also the Peter–Weyl theorem, which was first obtained for Lie groups.

 Re: Densitized Pseudo Twisted Forms
Apparently, it is the >same as the Lebesgue measure (?), but it would be interesting to see it >presented from the group theory perspective :) I'm not 100% certain that this is standard, but I would reserve the term "Lebesgue measure" for \R^n, or more generally for a finite dimensional inner product space.
Then Lebesgue measure is just a special case of Haar measure, where the group in question is vector addition.
Lebesgue measure, OTOH, is required to give measure 1 to a unit cube (where is defined by the standard inner product on \R^n), so it's nailed down precisely.

The class of locally compact groups is large enough to encompass many/most of the topological groups that arise in physics, geometry, number theory and other areas of mathematics and the natural sciences.
