NICTA-HCSNet: Multimodal User Interaction Workshop 2005
13-14th September, 2005
NICTA ATP Laboratory, Redfern, Sydney
This workshop is intended to provide a two-day forum comprising
presentations from leading international researchers on the
emerging science and technology of natural communication between
humans and machines using two or more concurrent input and/or output
modes. Multimodal interfaces are steadily gaining interest from both the
research community and the commercial world as computing devices become
smaller and more mobile, input and output technologies become more robust,
and new interaction possibilities appear on the horizon. The workshop will
comprise two keynote speeches, more than fifteen technical presentations,
live demonstrations, and a Collaborative Project Forum.
