Title
The efficiency of multimodal interaction: a case study
Abstract
This paper reports1on a case study comparison of a direct- manipulation-based graphical user interface (GUI) with the QuickSet pen/voice multimodal interface for supporting the task of military force "laydown." In this task, a user places military units and "control measures," such as various types of lines, obstacles, objectives, etc., on a map. A military expert designed his own scenario and entered it via both interfaces. Usage of QuickSet led to a speed improvement of 3.2 to 8.7- fold, depending on the kind of object being created. These results suggest that there may be substantial efficiency advantages to using multimodal interaction over GUIs for map- based tasks.
