Multimodal interaction strategies in a multi-device environment around natural speech

Abstract

In this paper we present an intelligent user interface which combines a speech-based interface with several other input modalities. The integration of multiple devices into a working environment should provide greater flexibility to the daily routine of medical experts for example. To this end, we will introduce a medical cyber-physical system that demonstrates the use of a bidirectional connection between a speech-based interface and a head-mounted see-through display. We will show examples of how we can exploit multiple input modalities and thus increase the usability of a speech-based interaction system.
