Maintainable Management and Access of Lexical Knowledge for Multimodal Virtual Reality Interfaces
Proceeding of the 22nd ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and Technology (VRST), стр. 347-348. ACM, (2016)Аннотация
This poster presents a maintainable method to manage lexical information required for multimodal interfaces. It is tailored for the application in real-time interactive systems, specifically for Virtual Reality, and solves three problems commonly encountered in this context: (1) The lexical information is defined on and grounded in a common knowledge representation layer (KRL) based on OWL. The KRL describes application objects and possible system functions in one place and avoids error-prone redundant data management. (2) The KRL is tightly integrated into the simulator platform using a semantically enriched object model that is auto-generated from the KRL and thus fosters high performance access. (3) A well-defined interface provides application wide access to semantic application state information in general and the lexical information in specific, which greatly contributes to decoupling, maintainability, and reusability.
