Problems raised by the designing of advanced multimodal systems are both numerous and originate from various sources such as linguistics, ergonomics, technics,... Through the presentation of the up to date progress of the GEORAL project, we will attempt to illustrate some of these problems. The GEORAL project is a project undertaken by GRECO-PRC Man-machine Communication and carried out at the IRISA Computer Laboratory in Lannion, France.
The aim of the GEORAL project is to achieve an interrogation system in natural language from a geographic and touristic database. This consultation results in a multi-modal dialogue which uses oral in both input and output, and graphics in output. After a brief presentation of the project's objectives, we describe the architecture of the system and an initial implementation. We specify in more detail the materials that we used (RDP-50 board, TELEVOX boards, graphics) as well as the user language and dialogue aspects.
