We present a novel methodology for building highly integrated multimodal systems. Our approach is motivated by neurological and behavioral theories of sensory perception in humans and animals. We argue that perceptual integration in multimodal systems needs to happen at all levels of the individual perceptual processes. Rather than treating each modality as a separately processed, increasingly abstracted pipeline – in which integration over abstract sensory representations occurs as the final step – we claim that integration and the sharing of perceptual information must also occur at the earliest stages of sensory processing. This paper presents our methodology for constructing multimodal systems and examines its theoretic motivation. We have followed this approach in creating the most recent version of a highly interactive environment called the Intelligent Room and we argue that doing so has provided the Intelligent Room with unique perceptual capabilities and gives insight into building similar complex multimodal systems.
