Abstract :
It is widely recognised that multiple modes of input give higher recognition rates than single modes. The use of multiple modes, such as speech and gesture, can allow for more natural human-computer interaction. Opportunities for error and ambiguity resolution also occur, as the same information may be available from more than one source, providing redundant or repeated information. This paper presents a study of the redundant integration of speech and 2D gesture input in a relatively simple, inexpensive multimodal input system. Empirical results about multimodal recognition rates at particular levels of redundancy are presented, and implications for the integration of multiple modes are discussed
