Abstract
In human–computer interaction, a modality refers to a path of communication between the human and the computer, such as audition and vision. Computers, embedded computer systems and especially modern mobile phones (also known as smartphones) have a growing “tendency” to add more paths of communication between them and the outer world. In this chapter the authors give a thorough overview of the multiple modalities of interaction between smartphones and humans that can be found in recent mobile devices and features that may be expected to make their entrance in the mobile technology in the near future.
