Abstract:

The Shoptalk system served in this task, as a testbed for integrating Natural Language and graphics techniques. The goals were to 1 develop a uniform semantics of pointing for devices such as a mouse, 2 develop a multi- modal interface methodology that includes the ability to use Natural Language to describe objects and time periods and the ability to use graphical techniques to manipulate context, and 3 conduct a feasibility demonstration of a prototype adaptive interface.
