Taxonomic Issues for Multimodal and Multimedia Interactive Systems
Joëlle Coutaz, Laurence Nigay, Daniel Salber · 1994
. One trend in Human Computer Interaction is to extend the sensory-motor capabilities of computer systems to better match the natural communication means of humans. Parallel to the exploratory development of such systems, significant effort is being deployed in defining frameworks and taxonomies for reasoning about the design space of such systems. This article is a preliminary effort to review current frameworks and taxonomies, focussing on the ways they complement each other. Keywords: Interaction framework, taxonomy, multimedia, multimodal. 1. Introduction One of the current trends in Human Computer Interaction is to extend the sensorymotor capabilities of computer systems to augment the natural communication means of humans. Successful attempts in this direction are the concepts of virtual reality and artificial reality [Krueger 91]. A promising new paradigm is emerging with the notion of augmented reality [Mackay 93]. All of these "digitized realities" are illustrations of...
