Interaction Modalities in Mobile Contexts

  • Chapter
Intelligent Interactive Systems in Knowledge-Based Environments

Part of the book series: Studies in Computational Intelligence ((SCI,volume 104))

Enabling seamless and intuitive interaction is a long cherished objective of the HCI community. In classic desktop situations, the constituent processes have been studied over a long period of time and a mature understanding of the essential components has been obtained leading to broad agreement on bestpractice principles and what constitutes good design. Though this endeavour has been of incalculable benefit, recent patterns of computer usage raise a new series of challenges that must be addressed. In particular, mobile computing is increasingly becoming the de facto usage paradigm: a situation that raises a new series of challenges for software engineers, and in particular, HCI professionals. In this chapter, the implications for one element of HCI in the mobile computing domain is examined, namely, interaction.
