Spoken interaction at the next level
Abstract:
Spoken interaction has been a major area of interest in the last years. It’s much more than just another modality in the user interface and reaches much further than our smartphone. With inter-connected devices and a range of other enabling technologies in place, it can have a key role in transforming how we interact with the ubiquitous technology around us and greatly impact our everyday life. Through the eyes of a small group that had the opportunity to bring its technology from the R&D lab to millions of devices worldwide, we’ll be sharing some thoughts about how spoken interaction will be empowering exciting new experiences and highlight some challenges and opportunities that lie in the way.
