Jon Udell wrote a nice piece about multimodal user interfaces today and it got me thinking. How do others take advantage of this with their weblogs? How can I take advantage of it? Extending Jon's work to the five senses, I could try employing sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste. That idea lasted all of five seconds. I am generally annoyed by websites with sound. Hear me now, I will not add sound to my weblog. I think Smell-0-Vision is still in its infancy, so that's out. I don't want anybody licking my weblog; some of the colors used here are known to be toxic. It seems my only option is to use words and images to create sounds, smells, tastes, and visions. I do like sites that employ photographs. I could add photos, if I would only remember to leave a compact flash card reader here at the office (to transfer pictures from my camera to my PC). As for the words, maybe its time to open up a bit and communicate. [On The Mark] 11:11:30 AM    trackback []     Articulate []
