Abstract
We are beginning to make use of technology that intervenes in the contents of the communication. Language processing has indeed a large practical potential if we take into account multiple modalities of communication. Multimodality refers to the perception of different co-ordinated media used in delivering a message but also in the combination of various attitudes in relation to communication (e.g. in information access the goal-oriented and the exploration-oriented). In the paper reference is made to some prototypes developed at IRST, conceived for cultural tourism. In a recent one the specificity is the combination of two forms of navigation taking place at the same time - one in information space, the other in physical space. Collaboration, an important topic for intelligent interfaces, is discussed toward the endI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
