Multimodal interfaces in mobile devices–the mona project

This paper describes our work on the MONA project (Mobile multimOdal Next generation Applications, [2]). Within this project we have developed a presentation server for multimodal device independent applications for mobile devices. We discuss two sample applications running on this server: a multiplayer quiz game and a unified messaging application. These applications can be deployed on a wide range of devices including PocketPC PDAs, Symbian based smartphones and even low-end mobile phones with a WAP browser only. The MONA presentation server ensures that the applications’ look and feel is consistent on all devices.
