Multi modal interfaces and the future of voice
summary
Design traces from 1996 voice dialing with 20 hard-coded address book entries to today’s Alexa Show where voice plus touch and screen co-create interactions; examples include Windows Phone reading screens when a headset is detected and BMW’s Alexa skill for car status. Sensors listed are gaze head pose gestures and even brain waves, with concrete outputs like LEDs, haptics and a home robot that uses beeps and Boop's deliberately to avoid overpromising. Multi-user voice profiles and predictions of assistants talking to assistants shape practical next steps.
