ABSTRACT:
In the multi-modal interface apparatus of the present invention, a gaze object detection section always detects a user's gaze object. The user inputs at least one medium of sound information, character information, image information and operation information through a media input section. In order to effectively input and output information between the user and the apparatus, a personified image presentation section presents a personified image to the user based on the user's gaze object. A control section controls a reception of the inputted media from the media input section based on the user's gaze object.
