Supporting Multi-Point Interaction in Visual Workspaces

Garth Shoemaker
Carl Gutwin

Introduces the concept of a multi-point interaction task. Presents a design framework and three novel techniques for supporting these tasks. Demonstrates that the new techniques are superior to standard methods.

 

Multimodal Redundancy Across Handwriting and Speech During Computer Mediated Human-Human Interactions

Edward C Kaiser
Paulo Barthelmess
Candice Erdmann
Phil Cohen

We show that public presenters typically say what they handwrite, redundantly. We argue that this focuses attention on dialogue-critical terms, and describe leveraging that redundancy for unsupervised, dynamic vocabulary learning.

 

Minimizing Modality Bias When Exploring Input Preferences for Multimodal Systems in New Domains: the Archivus Case Study

Agnes Lisowska
Susan Armstrong
Martin Rajman
Mireille Betrancourt

In this paper we discuss the problems faced when trying to design an evaluation protocol for a multimodal system using novel input modalities and in a new domain. In particular, we focus on the problem of trying to minimize bias towards certain modalities and interaction patterns that might be introduced by experimenters in the instructions given to users which explain how the system can be used.
