The MultiModal Interaction Research Group

The Multimodal Interaction Research Group was established at Glasgow Caledonian University in 2008 by Dr Lynne Baillie and her team who have a fascination for how people interact with technology.

Multimodal Interaction encompasses several areas of research e.g. tangible, mobile and social interactions. Applications and systems in the future will be built mainly for mobile and ubiquitous settings it is therefore imperative that researchers lead the way in developing and investigating: novel interaction modalities, novel genres, interactive navigation, novel interface solutions for particular user groups, such as elderly users, and novel perspectives on how to integrate the digitally mediated social space with the physical space.

Our work builds on user-centred design tradition where end-users are seen as active co-constructors of functionality. The group is part of the Division of Creative Technologies within the School of Engineering and Computing.

OUR KEY AREAS

• Interaction Design
• Multimodal Interaction
• Mobile & Spatial Design
• Care Systems
• Interactive Systems Architecture
• User Modelling and Testing

We are always keen to team up with researchers who are interested in developing and investigating: novel interaction modalities, novel genres, interactive navigation, novel interface solutions for particular user groups, such as elderly users, and novel perspectives on how to integrate the digitally mediated social space with the physical space.
