improving multimodal interaction design with the mmwa authoring environment
Multimodal Interfaces are designed to increase the human-machine communication bandwidth and to enhance user's satisfaction and task completion efficiency by providing a more natural way of interacting with computers. In contrast, developing multimodal interfaces is still a difficult task due to the lack of tools that consider not only code generation, but usability of such interfaces. In this paper, we present the MultiModal Web Approach's authoring environment, whose main goal is enhancing the dissemination of knowledge used in a project for future developments that are benefited by proven solutions to recurring problems in the multimodal context.
