Title: Multimodal Interaction with Mobile Devices:
Fusing a Broad Spectrum of Modality Combinations
Speaker: Rainer Wasinger

Abstract: This presentation outlines my past work on a multimodal system 
called the Mobile ShopAssist, which integrates a broad spectrum of 
communication modes including speech, handwriting, and selection-gesture. 
Several highlights of the system include the design and implementation of 
a modality fusion module, as well as the inclusion of tangible interaction 
with real world objects and the concept of symmetric multimodality. The
presentation additionally outlines the results from two usability studies 
on user preference and modality intuition for different modality 
combinations, as well as user acceptance for anthropomorphized objects.
