A Wizard-of-Oz Setting for Multimodal Interaction - An Approach to User-Based Elicitation of Design Patterns

This paper describes a Wizard of Oz setting for multimodal interaction. The design of this experimental setup is one working package in our research on a design methodology for multimodal interaction based on design reuse and user participation. Design reuse can be accomplished by design pattern languages, which are a powerful means of information management for both system developers and usability experts. User involvement is performed via Wizard-of-Oz tests, which simulate system behaviour by means of human agents. The test scenario is managing e-mail with multimodal mobile and desktop devices. Our goal is to explore hypotheses on mulPublished in: OSSWALD, Achim; STEMPFHUBER, Maximilian; WOLFF, Christian (eds.) (2007). Open Innovation.
