Abstract
The enhancement of a virtual reality environment with a speech interface is described. Some areas where the virtual reality environment benefits from the spoken modality are identified as well as some where the interpretation of natural language utterances benefits from being situated in a highly structured environment. The issue of interaction metaphors for this configuration of interface modalities is investigated.
