  1. Break-out Group # D Research Issues in Multimodal Interaction

  2. What are the different types • Speech • Haptics • Gesture • Deictic • Head and eye movement • EEG Electrocephalograms • physiological measurements

  3. What has been done so far? • Semantic fusion of information • Speech and Gesture • Preliminary efforts as to what types of modalities to intergrate. This is application dependent. • Need standardization at the level of devices and types of information to be fused

  4. Open Research Problems: • Should we stay with current paradigms or invent new methodologies? • There is no unifying framework for interaction in terms of devices/semantic integration. This is due to the lack of general purpose application. • We see specific applications eg, simulation, medical training

  5. Open Research Questions • How to deal with specific tasks in terms of fusing channels. How should channels be fused. • How to do transitions between tasks, e.g., manipulation vs loccomotion • Need more experimentation and a theory as to where VR is needed?

  6. Open Research Questions • Formal study of tasks within applications(e.g., manipulation, selection, navigation, changing of attributes, numerical input) • Need more research on output. So far mostly visual and oral.

  7. First breakout group • Taxonomy • Semantics • Cross-modal Representations (actions/perceptions)

  8. Applications/Output Group Second Meeting New Issues we Discussed in the afternoon

  9. DM: Third Breakout Group: Applications/Output • Human Perception of the environment • Integration with Input • Relationships to basic principles

  10. Human Perceptive abilities • Vision Technology: Limitation in terms or lighting or real time rendering • Limitations for other channels: Haptics, audio, olfaction, taste • The type/mix of output depends on the application • This is related to the internal representation

  11. Continued • Issue of using many modalities to offset the limitations of each modality. • Right now we do not have enough research data to support that. • Do we or not need to represent exactly the environment? • Application dependent

  12. Continued • Abstraction vs exact representation • Application dependent • Exact physical simulation vs fake physics. Ok or not to fool the user? • Probably application and technology dependent.

  13. Other Human Perceptive Modalities • Olfaction and taste: very little research • Some modalities are better understood than others (e.g., visual vs haptic or olfaction)

  14. Continued-Summary • Big issues: • Sensory substitution • Level of detail (variable resolution) • Sampled vs synthetic generation • Online or offline computation • Preservation (or not) of individuality e.g two people with different sense of taste or heat etc • Higher-level emotional augmentation

  15. Integration with Input • Haptics is the most widely used output sense that is also used for input • Head orientation, whole-body position, eye gaze also • Some output must be tightly coupled to input (it’s at the physical level) • Head motion to view changes, 3D audio

  16. Integration with Input (cont.) • Eye gaze-based control requires some interpretation • Intentional vs unintentional movement • When is a gesture a gesture?

  17. Relationship to Basic Principles • Mapping semantics to output • One or multiple representations for all modalities eg. Language and visual output where we have a common representation but gets translated differently for output • Spatio-temporal synchronization • Cross-modal representation (actions/perceptions) • Account for individual differences

  18. Future Paper Topics • All the previously mentioned open problems • Short Term • Update of the NRC report on modalities • Medium-Term • Modeling, Coupling and Output of modalities • In particular model smell and taste

  19. Future Paper Topics • Long Term • Further modeling and coupling • Advanced display technology • Personalization of output
