ICARE: A Component-based Approach for Multimodal Interaction [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Mobile and ubiquitous systems support multiple interaction techniques such as the synergistic use of active modalities (speech, gesture, etc.) and passive modalities (gaze, localization of a user, etc.). The flexibility they offer results in an increased complexity that current software development tools do not address appropriately. In this paper we describe a component-based approach, called ICARE, for specifying and developing interfaces combining active and passive modalities. Our approach relies on two types of components: (1) elementary components that describe pure modalities (active and passive) and (2) composition components (Complémentarité, Redundancy and Equivalence) that enable the designer to specify combined usage of modalities. The designer graphically assembles the ICARE components and the code of the multimodal user interface is automatically generated. Although the ICARE platform is not fully developed, we illustrate the applicability of the approach with the implementation of three mobiles systems: two GeoNote systems and one prototype of cockpit commands of Rafale (French military plane).
