Human Computer Interaction Multimodal And Natural Interaction

The three-volume set LNCS 12181, 12182, and 12183 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Human Computer Interaction thematic area of the 22nd International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, HCII 2020, which took place in Copenhagen, Denmark, in July 2020.* A total of 1439 papers and 238 posters have been accepted for publication in the HCII 2020 proceedings from a total of 6326 submissions. The 145 papers included in these HCI 2020 proceedings were organized in topical sections as follows: Part I: design theory, methods and practice in HCI; understanding users; usability, user experience and quality; and images, visualization and aesthetics in HCI. Part II: gesture-based interaction; speech, voice, conversation and emotions; multimodal interaction; and human robot interaction. Part III: HCI for well-being and Eudaimonia; learning, culture and creativity; human values, ethics, transparency and trust; and HCI in complex environments. *The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

"This book provides concepts, methodologies, and applications used to design and develop multimodal systems"--Provided by publisher.

The growing emphasis on multimodal interface design is fundamentally inspired by the aim to support natural, easy to learn and use, flexible, efficient, and powerfully expressive means of human-computer interaction. Most of the articles in this special issue present work in support of challenging applications such as algebra instruction, data summaries, and interaction with complex spatial displays. A collection of emerging research ideas on next-generation multimodal interfaces, it also addresses multimodal interface design for portable devices to be used in natural field settings. Additionally, it describes implemented systems that make computing accessible to the visually impaired.

Here is the third of a four-volume set that constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, HCII 2007, held in Beijing, China, in July 2007, jointly with eight other thematically similar conferences. It covers multimodality and conversational dialogue; adaptive, intelligent and emotional user interfaces; gesture and eye gaze recognition; and interactive TV and media.

This book constitutes the strictly reviewed post-workshop documentation of the First International Conference on Cooperative Multimodal Communication held in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, in 1995. The volume presents an introductory survey and carefully re vised and updated full versions of three invited contributions and 14 papers selected for inclusion in the book after intensive reviewing. Among the issues addressed are intelligent multimedia retrieval, cooperative conversation, agent system communication, multimodal maps, multimodal plan presentation, multimodal user interfaces, multimodal dialog, and various systems for multimodal HCI.

The five-volume set LNCS 8004--8008 constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, HCII 2013, held in Las Vegas, NV, USA in July 2013. The total of 1666 papers and 303 posters presented at the HCII 2013 conferences was carefully reviewed and selected from 5210 submissions. These papers address the latest research and development efforts and highlight the human aspects of design and use of computing systems. The papers accepted for presentation thoroughly cover the entire field of human-computer interaction, addressing major advances in knowledge and effective use of computers in a variety of application areas. This volume contains papers in the thematic area of human-computer interaction, addressing the following major topics: speech, natural language and auditory interfaces; gesture and eye-gaze based Interaction; touch-based interaction; haptic interaction; graphical user interfaces and visualisation.

This book comprises a variety of breakthroughs and recent advances on Human– Computer Interaction (HCI) intended for both researchers and practitioners. Topics addressed here can be of interest for those people searching for last trends involving such a growing discipline. Important issues concerning this book includes cutti- edge topics such as Semantic Web Interfaces, Natural Language Processing and - bile Interaction, as well as new methodological trends such as Interface-Engineering techniques, User-Centred Design, Usability, Accessibility, Development Meth- ologiesandEmotionalUserInterfaces. Theideabehindthisbookistobringtogether relevant and novel research on diverse interaction paradigms. New trends are gu- anteedaccordingtothedemandingclaimsofbothHCIresearchersandpractitioners, which encourage the explicit arrangement of new industrial and technological topics such as the previously cited Interfaces for the Semantic Web, and Mobile Interfaces, but also Multimodal Interaction, Collaborative Interfaces, End-User Development, Usability and User Interface Engineering. Chapters included in this book comprise a selection of top high-quality papers from Interaccion ́ 2007, which is the most important HCI conference sponsored by AIPO (the Spanish HCI Association). Papers were selected from a ranking - tained through double-blind peer review and later meta-review processes, cons- ering the best evaluated paper from both the review and presentation session. Such a paper selection constitutes only 33% of the papers published in the conference proceedings. We would like to thank the reviewers for their effort in revising the chapters included in this publication, namely Silvia T. Acuna, ̃ Sandra Baldasarri, Crescencio Bravo, Cesar A.

Abstract: "Multimodal interaction is a way to make user interfaces natural and efficient with parallel and synergistic use of two or more input or output modalities. Two-handed interaction is a special case of multimodal interaction that makes use of both hands in a combined and coordinated manner. This dissertation gives a comprehensive survey on issues that are related to multimodal and two-handed interaction. Earlier work in human-computer interaction and related psychology is introduced within both these fields. The constructive part of this dissertation consists of designing and building a group of multimodal interaction techniques that were implemented in two research prototypes. The first prototype is an object-oriented drawing program that implements new tools that are controlled with two-handed input. The second prototype is a multimodal information kiosk that responds to both touch and speech input, and makes use of touch pressure sensing. In order to evaluate the success of constructive research, four empirical studies were conducted to compare the new interaction techniques to the conventional methods and to evaluate how the users react on them. The first of the studies compared a new direct manipulation tool to conventional menu and palette commands. The second evaluation was more informal and determined how an alternative way of drawing would be used by normal users. The third study was aimed at determining what is the best input device configuration to control the new tools. The last study evaluated different touch-based selection techniques in a multimodal touch and speech based information kiosk. The need for extensive interdisciplinary research is pointed out with a group of research questions that need to be answered to better understand multimodal human-computer interaction. The current knowledge only applies to a few special cases, and there is no unified modality theory of multimodal interaction that covers both input and output modalities."
