Multimodality

Multimodality refers to the use of multiple methods or channels to communicate or process information. For example, a person might combine spoken words, gestures, facial expressions, and written text to convey a message more effectively. In technology, multimodal systems integrate different types of data—like speech, images, and touch—to understand and interact with users better. This approach makes communication richer and more natural, similar to how humans use various senses and methods together to understand and share information. Overall, multimodality enhances understanding by leveraging diverse modes of interaction.
