The outlines of a theory and technology of human-computer interaction as represented in the model of the HuComTech project

The HuComTech project aims at developing a theory of multimodal human-computer interaction linking knowledge about human-human interaction to technological implementation. The purpose is to contribute to a more efficient and human-like human-computer interaction system by defining the main structural elements of communication, identifying their markers and defining their alignment with other markers in a multimodal environment. The novelty of the proposed system is its bidirectionality (both analysis and synthesis). This advantage is utilized in a new multimodal corpus and database.
