Multimodal Interaction

Multimodal interaction refers to communication between the person and computer, using more than one channel of I/O at a time. This could mean a 3D pointer combined with touch screen and voice input for example, or head mounted display combined with headphones and haptic feedback for output.

Regardless of the specifics, it is multimodal when more than one form of input or output is used at the same time.

Gamebooks
For those who remember them, the gamebook was (and still is) the print world's answer to a computer role playing game.
