Contemporary man-machine interfaces are increasingly characterized by multimodality, nonintrusiveness, context-sensitivity, adaptivity, and teleoperability. The implementation of such properties relies on novel techniques in felds such as, e.g., computer vision, speech technology, trainable classifiers, robotics, and virtual reality.

This book puts special emphasis on technological aspects of advanced interface implementation. Furthermore it focuses on interface design and usability.

For readers with a background in engineering and computer science, most chapters offer design...
