The ongoing migration of computing and information access from
stationary environments to mobile computing devices for eventual
use in mobile environments, such as Personal Digital Assistants
(PDAs), tablet PCs, next generation mobile phones, and in-car
driver assistance systems, poses critical challenges for natural
human-computer interaction. Spoken dialogue is a key factor in
ensuring natural and user-friendly interaction with such devices
which are meant not only for computer specialists, but also for
everyday users.
Speech supports hands-free and eyes-free operation, and becomes
a key alternative interaction mode in mobile environments, e.g. in
cars where driver distraction by manually operated devices may be a
significant problem. On the other hand, the use of mobile devices
in public places, may make the possibility of using alternative
modalities possibly in combination with speech, such as graphics
output and gesture input, preferable due to e.g. privacy issues.
Researchersa (TM) interest is progressively turning to the
integration of speech with other modalities such as gesture input
and graphics output, partly to accommodate more efficient
interaction and partly to accommodate different user
preferences.
This book:
combines overview chapters of key areas in spoken multimodal
dialogue (systems and components, architectures, and evaluation)
with chapters focussed on particular applications or problems in
the field.
focusses on the influence of the environment when building and
evaluating an application.
Audience:
Computer scientists, engineers, and others who work in the area
of spoken multimodal dialogue systems in academia and in
theindustry.
Graduate students and Ph.D. students specialising in spoken
multimodal dialogue systems in general, or focusing on issues in
these systems in mobile environments in particular
