Abstract

Non-desktop workplaces often generate challenging multitasking situations for a user attempting to interact with supporting technology. Multimodal applications promise great advantages in this type of context. However, current research does not provide enough knowledge for the ergonomic optimization of multimodal interfaces. In order to advance in the research area concerning non-desktop work, a systematic research approach is needed. This paper discusses a possible strategy for advancing towards systematic research, and describes a preliminary experiment attempting to evaluate a real scenario using this strategy.
