Although multimodality renders interacting with an environment more natural and intuitive, the development cycle of such an application is often long and expensive. In our overall field of research, we investigate how modelbased design can facilitate the development processby designing environments through the use of highlevel diagrams. In this scope, we present ‘NiMMiT’, a graphical notation for expressing and evaluating multimodal user interaction; we elaborate on the NiMMiT primitives and demonstrate its use by means of a comprehensiveexample. %L 004 %K Interaction Metaphors %K Interaction Techniques %K Interactive Virtual Environment %K Model-Based Design %K Multimodal Interaction %R 10.20385/1860-2037/4.2007.2 %U http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0009-6-11615 %U http://dx.doi.org/10.20385/1860-2037/4.2007.2
