Multimodal & Embodied User Interface for Natural HCI

Abstract:

Humans feel the world through multimodal sensation systems including the visual system, auditory system, somatosensory system, etc. The concept of multimodal embodied interaction aims to provide an intuitive and natural user experience for Human-Computer Interaction, by leveraging human sensation. This requires increasing the sensing capabilities of the system to understand humans’ natural behavior and intention while providing feedback through multimodal channels. This talk will cover our efforts from both input and output aspects, including wearable sensing technique, multimodal interface, and multimodal feedback system, towards a more engaging HCI experience.
