W3C Workshop Report: Smart Homes, Cars, Devices and the Web - Rich Multimodal Apps

W3C published today a summary of the Workshop on Rich Multimodal Application Development, hosted by Openstream on 22-23 July in the New York Metropolitan Area.

One of the Workshop aims was to accentuate the merits of HTML5 and the W3C Multimodal Architecture to help create the appropriate level of awareness of the maturity of the MMI Architecture and its suitability for developing innovative and compelling user-experiences across applications/devices.

Workshop participants prioritized work on use cases and requirements for rich multimodal applications, including service/device discovery, HTML5 integration, extending EMMA for output, specific industry snapshot, streaming, timing handling and related standards.

As discussed during the workshop, the W3C Multimodal Interaction Working Group will hold Webinars like the one held in January to discuss the issues identified during the workshop with all the stakeholders. Learn more about the Multimodal Interaction Activity.
