A Meta User Interface to Control Multimodal Interaction in Smart Environments

Abstract

Smart environments bring together multiple users, (interaction) resources and services. This creates complex and unpredictable interactive computing environments that are hard to understand. Users thus have difficulties to build up their mental model of such interactive systems. To address this issue users need possibilities to evaluate the state of these systems and to adapt them according to their needs. In this work we present our implementation of the functionalities to evaluate and control multimodal interaction in smart environments, which is accessible for users through a meta user interface.
