Dumas, Bruno ; Lalanne, Denis (Dir.)

Thèse de doctorat : Université de Fribourg, 2010 ; no. 1695.

The field of multimodal interaction grew during the last decade, as a consequence of the advent of innovative input interfaces, as well as the development of research fields such as speech recognition. However, multimodal fusion and combination did not evolve at the same rate, which lead to a chasm between the use of input modalities and the different possibilities of combining them. This PhD...

In: Journal on multimodal user interfaces, 2010, vol. 3, no. 3, p. 237-247

This article introduces the problem of modeling multimodal interaction, in the form of markup languages. After an analysis of the current state of the art in multimodal interaction description languages, nine guidelines for languages dedicated at multimodal interaction description are introduced, as well as four different roles that such language should target: communication, configuration,...
