Overview
Technologies to enable multimodal interaction are now sufficiently  mature that research is turning away from pure technology development and  looking towards interaction and design issues. Robust solutions exist to  display audio and haptic feedback in many forms - for instance as  speech and non speech sounds and through tactile and force feedback  sensations. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that the novel interactions  supported by these modalities can confer benefits for all users.  However, many questions remain: how can we design effective haptic, audio and  multimodal interfaces? In what new application areas can we apply  these techniques? Are there design methods that are useful? Or evaluation  techniques that are particularly appropriate?

While multimodal interfaces are attracting more and more attention,  there is relatively little work on how the haptic and auditory modalities  can be efficiently and effectively combined in an interface. Is there  information which is better communicated using one modality rather than  another? How can we link haptic and auditory displays so that changes  in one modality are reflected in the other? Can we create complimentary  relationships between the information displayed to each sense?  Additionally, how should we interact with these new displays and interfaces? Is  a direct manipulation interaction style still appropriate? A technique  that works well with a force feedback device but may not be  appropriate for all types of displays. How should we interact with a tactile  display, or manipulate a sonified graph?

Whilst audio and haptic interaction has been shown to be a useful tool,  neither sense has the bandwidth of the visual modality. Careful,  considered and informed interaction design will play a vital role if  multimodal systems are to move beyond the lab and into the real world. This  workshop seeks novel research addressing this human-centric challenge. 

Program
The final program features keynotes from James Ballas of the US Naval Research Laboratories and Dong-Soo Kwon of KAIST, a full program of peer reviewed papers (to be published as an issue of Springer's LNCS) and a lively demo and poster session. Check the webpage for full details:
