CardWorld1http://www.yorku.ca/jmason/CardWorld1.htmlis a working model of dialog about cards and piles of cards on a table top. It uses a mix of direct-manipulation, English language, and pointing tomanipulate the cards and piles. Ambiguities of pointing, and changingconfigurations of piles due to movement of cards allow for interestingmodeling of deixis and anaphora. Syntax, semantics, and pragmatics of themodel are all fairly simple but not trivial. Many extensions are possible,as suggested in its documentation.
The model is free to use for research and teaching. The model is writtenin open-source Java can be run as a Java Web Start applet with aJava-enabled browser from this web site:http://typo3.asd-networks.com/web/index.php?id=415
