Abstract:
The use of multimodality improves interaction between the user and the computer. Particularly, the use of multimodal feedback within a smart environment facilitates the integration of technology into the daily activities of the user. However the choice of the suitable output modalities requires knowledge of the user context to be effective. This paper presents an approach for the generation of context-aware multimodal feedback in the context of ambient intelligence. Our solution is based on the NAIF Framework, which handles the creation and management of a smart environment. A preliminary prototype has been developed and tested in order to validate the proposed approach.
