Software Design and Development of Mutimodal Interaction
Marie-Luce Bourguet · 2008
The multimodal dimension of a user interface raises numerous problems that are not present in more traditional interfaces. In this paper, we briefly review the current approaches in software design and modality integration techniques for multimodal interaction. We then propose a simple framework for describing multimodal interaction designs and for combining sets of user inputs of different modalities. We show that the proposed framework can help designers in reasoning about synchronization patterns problems and testing interaction robustness.
