    Options for Multimodal Applications -- platforms, standards, and tools

    by Deborah Dahl

    Mobile Voice 2012

    San Francisco, USA

    Relevant technology areas: Browsers and Other Agents, Web Design and Applications, and Web of Devices.

    Abstract:
    Multimodal applications leverage the strengths of both voice and graphics to create compelling and usable mobile applications. However,companies interested in creating multimodal applications must choose among a variety of platforms and development tools offered by a number of different vendors, and the choice can be difficult. This presentation discusses the pros and cons of existing multimodal platforms and tools. We will also discuss how voice and multimodal standards can reduce the risk of being locked into proprietary technologies.

    Developing Mobile Web Applications (tutorial)

    by Dominique Hazaël-Massieux and Frances de Waal

    Relevant technology areas: Web Design and Applications and Web of Devices.

    Abstract:

    Participants to the tutorial will learn how to build applications for mobile devices using Web technologies. We will first focus on what makes it different to use the Web on mobile devices compared to computers: the specific constraints of these devices, as well as their increasing specific advantages.

    We will then learn how to work around these constraints to provide a good user experience on mobile devices.

    The tutorial will then look at how to exploit all the specificities of the mobile user experience, via JavaScript APIs, touch interactions, camera integration, etc.
