Abstract

We investigated if and under which conditions multimodal interfaces (touch , speech , motion control ) fulfil the expectation of being superior to unimodal interfaces. The results show that the possibility of multimodal interaction with a handheld mobile device turned out to be more intuitive, more robust, and more preferred than the interaction with the individual modalities speech and motion control . However, it was not clearly superior to touch .
