There is a lot of interesting research going on in the group (feel free to contact anyone in the group if you want to know more - contact details are on the home page). We are really interested in multimodal human-computer interaction - using different sensory modalities to communicate information. Most current interfaces rely almost entirely on vision to present information. This is not natural and can cause sighted users to become overloaded and is a major problem for people with sight impairments. What we are doing is investigating the use of

Multimodal interaction provides the user with multiple modes of interfacing with a system beyond the traditional keyboard and mouse input/output. The most common such interface combines a visual modality (e.g. a display, keyboard, and mouse) with a voice modality (speech recognition for input, speech synthesis and recorded audio for output). However other modalities, such as pen-based input or haptic input/output, may be used. Multimodal user interfaces are a research area in human-computer interaction. The advantage of multiple modalities is
