HCIIL BBL Speaker Series: Prompting Rich and Low-Burden Self-Tracking Through Multimodal Data Input
Event Start Date: Thursday, October 7, 2021 - 12:30 pm
Event End Date: Thursday, October 7, 2021 - 1:30 pm
Location: HBK2119 and on Zoom
Speaker: Yuhan Luo, PhD Candidate, College of Information Studies, University of Maryland 
Abstract: Multimodal systems seek to support effective human-computer interaction leveraging people’s natural capabilities. While screen-based touch, keyboard, and mouse input have been the mainstream, we see the growing popularity of speech input. Inspired by speech’s fast, flexible, and expressive nature, I examine how speech input complements traditional touch input on smartphones in supporting self-tracking practices.
