Patent attributes
Some embodiments described herein relate to a multimodal user interface for use in an automobile. The multimodal user interface may display information on a windshield of the automobile, such as by projecting information on the windshield, and may accept input from a user via multiple modalities, which may include a speech interface as well as other interfaces. The other interfaces may include interfaces allowing a user to provide geometric input by indicating an angle. In some embodiments, a user may define a task to be performed using multiple different input modalities. For example, the user may provide via the speech interface speech input describing a task that the user is requesting be performed, and may provide via one or more other interfaces geometric parameters regarding the task. The multimodal user interface may determine the task and the geometric parameters from the inputs.
