Abstract

Our multimodal interaction is based on a smartphone app that combines GUI, text, gestures and voice commands as a step towards intuitive human communication with a smart home. Shown how to perform two tasks, 32 participants were asked to intuit how to perform seven other tasks using networked and embedded devices through intuitive multimodal interaction based on universal mental models. 1st attempts were between 28.1 and 90.6% successful. By the third consecutive attempt, successes ranged from 65.6% on one device, to 100% on four others.
