Abstract

This paper presents an emerging application of multimodal interface research to distributed applications. We have developed the QuickSet prototype, a pen/voice system running on a hand-held PC, communicating via wireless LAN through an agent architecture to a number of systems, including NRaD's' LeatherNet system, a distributed interactive training simulator built for the US Marine Corps. The paper describes the overall system architecture, a novel multimodal integration strategy offering mutual compensation among modalities, and provides examples of multimodal simulation setup. Finally, we discuss our applications experience and evaluation.
