Developing and evaluating web multimodal interfaces - a case study with usability principles

Improving multimodal interaction design with the MMWA authoring environment

“…The MultiModal Web Approach (MMWA) [11], Figure 1, provides designers and developers with a more practical framework to create multimodal projects. This approach follows a spiral process composed of activities and techniques, which allow the capture and retrieval of DR providing successful solutions for recurring problems in the multimodal interaction context through, decisions, justifications, alternatives and arguments that led to the final design and documenting them for future reuse.…”

“…Moreover, rooted in our experience applying the MMWA in real projects [11], and based on the observations of the design workflow of MMWA we have designed an authoring tool that guides the designers, developers and usability testers, the project team, through the MMWA steps and activities. The advantage of this authoring tool, called MMWA-ae, is that it suggests design alternatives based on the previous collected DR and the wellknown interaction DPs [4], although now supporting the multimodal theory.…”

Design of communication in multimodal web interfaces

“…The MultiModal Web Approach (MMWA) [17], Figure 1, was developed in order to provide designers with a more practical framework to design, develop and evaluate multimodal interaction projects. This approach follows a spiral process composed of 5 activities that allow the capture and retrieval of Design Rationale.…”

“…O experimento conduzido por Neto et al (2009) teve como objetivo a captura de Design Rationale durante o desenvolvimento de interfaces gráficas para um software web que respondesse a comandos de voz (interfaces multimodais). O intuito dos autores do trabalho foi a identificação de padrões de projeto por meio da análise dos registros de rationale realizados pelos desenvolvedores das interfaces em questão.…”

“…Tais avaliações também serviriam como base para futura análise, com o intuito de identificarem as melhores abordagens de desenvolvimento. Neto et al (2009) concluiram que o experimento obteve resultados expressivos e que a análise do Design Rationale registrado pelos usuários servirá como base para a elaboração de padrões de desenvolvimento de aplicações web com interfaces multimodais.…”
