Introduction

Multimodal Interaction

Multimodal Interaction makes possible to extend the Web to allow multiple modes of interaction (aural, visual and tactile), increasing human to computer and human to human interaction, as it happens in communication services involving multiple devices and multiple people.

Multimodal Interaction is extending the Web user interface to offer users the means to provide input using their voice or other devices to introduce data such as keyboard, mouse, stylus, etc. For output, users will be able to listen to spoken prompts, audio, and to view information on graphical displays. Users can choose interaction devices or modes for a particular situation, improving user interface, accessibility and reliability.
