Modern tomography technologies like CT or MRI produce high-quality scans of the human anatomy. While conventional computer-aided image analysis falls back upon editing tomograms layer by layer, virtual environments offer enhanced visualization, image analysis and manipulation of the three-dimensional data sets. In this paper, the application of multimodal, user-oriented human-computer interaction is presented, facilitating and accelerating work with the tomographical data of individual patients. Hand gesture recognition is a major component of the interface, completed by speech understanding and further units like a 6-DOF mouse or acoustic feedback. Three-dimensional image segmentation, virtual bronchoscopy and virtual angioscopy are typical examples that illustrate the benefits of virtual environments for the realm of medicine.

## Abstract This work proposes a real‐time virtual human multimodal expression model. Five modalities explore the affordances of the body: deterministic, non‐deterministic, gesticulation, facial, and vocal expression. Deterministic expression is keyframe body animation. Non‐deterministic expression
A model of computer-human interaction is presented, viewing the interaction as a hierarchy of virtual protocol dialogues. Each virtual protocol realizes the dialogue on the level above itself and is in turn supported by a lower-level protocol. This model is inspired by the OSI-model for computer net
In this paper, the concept of multimodal human-computer interaction is explored. It is proposed that multimodality can be de"ned from human or technology perspectives, which place emphasis on di!erent attributes of the system. Furthermore, in this paper it is argued that the most e!ective de"nition
Among learning environment design tasks, this paper is specifically interested in the student-computer dialogue specification and management. We show that it is possible to define decisional latitude intervals in which the student may work. The specification of dialogue is made through a design meth
