Multimodal user interfaces for a travel assistant

Published: 25 November 2003 Publication History

Abstract

As a part of a project to develop a personal assistant for travellers, we have studied three types of multimodal interfaces for a PDA: 1) a combination of Control menus and vocal inputs to control zoomable user interfaces to graphical or textual databases, 2) refinement of pictures captured by the integrated camera, based on correlating a series of pictures, in order to enhance character recognition, and 3) embodied conversational agents able to communicate via synchronized speech and culturedependent nonverbal behaviors (face, gaze and gesture). We describe in this paper these three modalities and their integration in the main application.
