Rapid Multimodal Dialogue Design: Application in a Multimodal Meeting Retrieval and Browsing System

In this paper we present an extension of the EPFL’s Rapid Dialogue Prototyping Methodology to include multimodality, and show how it can be applied in the design of a multimodal application, the Archivus system. We begin with an overview of the standard speechonly rapid dialogue prototyping methodology, followed by a discussion of the extensions implemented to include multimodal capabilities. We then show how the methodology is applied in the design of Archivus, and provide an example of a multimodal interaction with the system.
