Abstract

We present a framework to manage multimodal applications and interfaces in a reusable and extensible manner. We achieve this by focusing the architecture both on applications' needs and devices' capabilities. One particular domain we want to approach is collaborative environments where several modalities and applications make it necessary to provide for an extensible system combining diverse components across heterogeneous platforms on-the-fly. This paper describes the proposed framework and its main contributions in the context of an architectural application scenario. We demonstrate how to connect different non-conventional applications and input modalities around an immersive environment (tiled display wall).
