TL;DR
A concept for complex user interaction with tactile widgets and how to adapt the screen explorer to the requirements of third party applications by the use of Add-Ins is described.
Abstract
A graphical screen explorer, as it is developed in the HyperBraille project, has different demands on representing information than conventional screen readers and thereby new concepts of interaction, the representation of widgets and the synchronization of multimodal operations become necessary. We describe a concept for complex user interaction with tactile widgets and how to adapt the screen explorer to the requirements of third party applications by the use of Add-Ins.

The present research analyzed multimodal interaction while people spoke and wrote to a simulated dynamic map system and revealed that the temporal precedence of writing over speech was a major theme, with pen input conveying location information first in a sentence.

The thesis presented is that muscular tension and motion can be used to phrase human-computer dialogues to reinforce the chunking of low-level tasks that correspond to the higher-level primitives of the mental model that is being established.
Non-visual information display using tactons

A novel form of display using tactile output that has the potential to improve interaction in a range of different areas, particularly where the visual display is overloaded, limited in size or not available, such as interfaces for blind people or on mobile and wearable devices is described.
