| Abstract | |
Multimodal interfaces process several types of user inputs, such as voice, gestures and pen interaction, in a combined and coordinated manner with the system?s multimedia output. Applications which support multimodality provide a more natural and flexible way for executing tasks with computers, since they allow users with different levels of abilities to choose the mode of interaction that best fits their needs. The use of interfaces that run away from the conventional style of interaction, based in keyboard and mouse, comes together with the concept of ubiquitous computing, which has been established as a research area that studies the social and technological aspects decurrent from the integration os systems and devices into the environments. In this context, the work reported here aimed to investigate the implementation of multimodal interfaces in ubiquitous computing applications, by means of the building of a software framework used for integrating handwriting and speech modalities (AU) | |
