    The Challenge of multimodal interfaces

    Now that we have impressive computing power at our fingertips, what really slows us in using it is explaining machines what we want them to do…

    Keyboard and mouse were major contributors to office automation, earlier, and to this computer-for-the-masses story we are facing nowadays. We are deep down in digital revolution, with beating IPods in our pockets and our life on videoblogs. That old QWERTY keyboards and late ‘50 clunky mice are showing all their weakness, now.

    Technology tried evolving toward Artificial Intelligence, but had an insufficient outcome. Computers hardly learn from humans, also because of poor communication and interaction ways between those two worlds.

    Soon it will be possible (note: it is ALREADY possible!) to control a computer using multimodal interfaces, eyegazes, human attention and natural language. This evolution could turn out to be much more deep than we could now foresight, ranging from being just a mouse/keyboard replacement to become the way through the computers will begin to guess our reasoning. –> LEARN MORE AT…
