Multimodal fusion and fission within W3C standards for nonverbal communication with blind persons

Abstract

Multimodal fusion and multimodal fission are well known concepts for multimodal systems but have not been well integrated in current architectures to support collaboration of blind and sighted people. In this paper we describe our initial thoughts of multimodal dialog modeling in multiuser dialog settings employing multiple modalities based on W3C standards like the Multimodal Architecture and Interfaces. © 2014 Springer International Publishing.
