Multimodal Rummy: Designing Multimodal Games

Multimodal interaction in game design enables creating games with rich human-human interaction. The use of multiple modalities affords the performance of private and public game mechanics. Face-to-face communication in co-located play allows players to actively engage in natural impression management and social interaction. In Multimodal Rummy, private and public displays present different elements of the state of play to each player.
