Research

Design of a framework for multimodal systems called SAMMI. This multimodal system is designed for flexible usage, enabling access to an interactive system for a broad range of different users. The provision of different and alternative modes is at the same time a great milestone towards universal access, but is still not sufficient. To become suitable for a wide range of users multimodal systems need to incorporate adaptable and adaptive components.
