Cross-disciplinary approaches to multimodal user interfaces

摘要

The integration of models, theories, and scientific approaches from several different disciplines is a key factor for scientific research on novel multimodal user interfaces. Research on multimodal interfaces strongly contributed to push for the nowadays consolidated shift of focus from strictly technological aspects to the need of a deep understanding of the mechanisms underlying human perception, cognition, and communication. Cross-fertilisation between computer science and engineering with other domains such as psychology, biomechanics, neurosciences, cognitive sciences, social sciences, musicology, music and dance theory and practice becomes of paramount importance.
