This workshop is open to all CIRMMT members.
Description
This workshop addresses the integration of multiple modes of information to support human-computer interaction, with an emphasis on auditory and haptic modalities. We consider the relevant characteristics of these modalities, how their combination can affect perception and improve task performance in a variety of domains, and examine case studies in interaction design that leverage such combinations. This knowledge is applicable to interface design in general, and has particular importance not only to the visually impaired, but to domains where the visual channel is heavily occupied attending to other stimuli or where other modalities can effectively complement visual feedback.
