Multimodal Interfaces: Supporting Synchronous Distributed Multi-Agent Communication and Coordination in Complex Domains
Chih‐Yuan Ho · OhioLink ETD Center (Ohio Library and Information Network) · 2004
Operators in many complex event-driven domains, such as the military, need to coordinate their goals and activities with numerous other co-located and distributed human and machine agents.One promising way to support effective synchronous coordination is through the introduction of adaptive multimodal interfaces that afford increased bandwidth, timesharing, complementarity, redundancy, and modality substitution.To inform the design of such interfaces, we explored people's natural
