In this article we introduce this special issue of Multimodal Communication. We briefly describe the founding of the Multimodal Research Centre and the journal Multimodal Communication before introducing each of the articles featured in this issue.
When we interact with computers, we often want them to be endowed with similar characteristics as we find in human communication, and that we are familiar with. One of these characteristics is the ability to use a combination of various communication modalities. In everyday conversation, people effortlessly combine modalities such as speech, gestures, facial expressions, touch and sounds to express meaningful conversational contributions. Since the perceptual, cognitive and motor abilities of humans are well adapted to the real-time processing of these various modalities, we expect that including the possibility to use various modalities in interfaces may contribute to a more efficient and satisfactory human-computer interaction.

Multimedia communication presents information in an interesting, creative way that helps many different types of learners internalize<br>the data. Info graphics are a common example of multimedia communication. These large images are set up like posters and have text, statistics,<br>graphs, charts and images that provide information. Visual learners who need these graphs, charts and images are able to get just as much from<br>the info graph as learners who focus on numbers who, for instance, hone in on the statistics. <br>Websites are also prime examples of multimedia communication. Websites can include all of the different types of media to present a<br>single topic or idea, and they are interactive so that the user can easily find the information and navigate the pages. Many informative websites<br>include videos that offer succinct, engaging clips.<br><i>_______</i><br><br>

Face-to-face communication is multimodal at its core: it consists of a combination of vocal and visual signalling. However, current evidence suggests that, in the absence of an established communication system, visual signalling, especially in the form of visible gesture, is a more powerful form of communication than vocalization and therefore likely to have played a primary role in the emergence of human language. This argument is based on experimental evidence of how vocal and visual modalities (i.e. gesture) are employed to communicate about familiar concepts when participants cannot use their existing languages. To investigate this further, we introduce an experiment where pairs of participants performed a referential communication task in which they described unfamiliar stimuli in order to reduce reliance on conventional signals. Visual and auditory stimuli were described in three conditions: using visible gestures only, using non-linguistic vocalizations only and given the opt...
