Multimodal interaction: event management and experiments with ICPdraw

Jean Caelen

ICPdraw is a multimodal drawing application. Using the paradigm of "direct object manipulation" (by speech and 2D mouse gestures), several commands, such as "draw red triangle", "delete that" (while pointing to a deletable object), "move the blue circle upon the triangle", etc.s can be executed at the same time. In this kind of task, there are a number of problems related to the interface conception and the dialogue management: (1) event representation and management (in time, duration, etc.), (2) command interpretation with regard to the composition of events (in particular for the problem of spatial designation and coreference).
