Nowadays, users have access to a multitude of devices at their homes, workplaces or that they can carry around. Each of these devices, given its features (e.g., interaction modalities, screen size), might be more suitable for particular users, tasks, and contexts. While having one application installed in several devices might be common, they mostly work isolated, not exploring the possibilities of several devices working together to provide a more versatile and richer interaction scenario. Adopting a multimodal interaction (MMI) architecture based on the W3C recommendations, beyond the advantages to the design and development of MMI, provides, we argue, an elegant approach to tackle multi-device interaction scenarios. In this regard, this chapter conveys our views and research outcomes addressing this subject, presenting concrete application examples.
