Wearable computers and their novel applications demand more context-specific user interfaces than traditional desktop paradigms can offer. This article describes a multimodal interface and explains how it enhances a mobile user's situational awareness and how it provides new functionality. This mobile, augmented-reality system visualizes otherwise invisible information encountered in urban environments. A versatile filtering tool allows interactive display of occluded infrastructure and of dense data distributions, such as room temperature or

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
