The NITE workbench - a tool for annotation of natural interactivity and multimodal data

This paper describes ongoing work in the European NITE project on the development of a tool in support of annotation of natural interactive and multimodal data. The paper discusses the resources required for pursuing the vision of natural interactivity and provides an overview of existing natural interactivity data coding tools and projects. After discussing the target user groups of a NITE tool, the paper presents requirements to a visual coding tool interface followed by an early draft of the visual interface for the NITE coding tool
