Interactive software for multimodal analysis

Abstract

This article presents the design and functionalities of interactive software for multimodal analysis currently being developed in the Multimodal Analysis Lab, Interactive Digital Media Institute (IDMI) at the National University of Singapore. The software is being used for the annotation, analysis, search and retrieval of semantic patterns in unified but complex semiotic acts – for example, the interaction of gesture, gaze, intonation, camera angle, and music in a film. In addition to providing a digital platform for multimodal analysis, the software provides the site for further development of multimodal theory as the analytical techniques and tools produce insights into the nature of the multimodal phenomena. The approach is located within the digital humanities paradigm that promotes the use of computer techniques and technologies for humanities, arts, and social science research.
