In the context of [[human–computer interaction]], a '''modality''' is the classification of a single independent channel of sensory [[input/output]] between a computer and a human.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Karray|first1=Fakhreddine|last2=Alemzadeh|first2=Milad|last3=Saleh|first3=Jamil Abou|last4=Arab|first4=Mo Nours|title=Human-Computer Interaction: Overview on State of the Art|journal=International Journal on Smart Sensing and Intelligent Systems|date=March 2008|volume=1|issue=1|url=http://www.s2is.org/issues/v1/n1/papers/paper9.pdf|accessdate=April 21, 2015}}</ref>

'''Modality '''is the classification of sensory input when information is communicated in the context of [[human–computer interaction]]. Communication with computers is bidirectional in the form of [[input/output]] devices, and modalities are defined in two forms: human-computer and computer-human modalities.

Modalities are defined in two forms: human-computer and computer-human modalities.

In [[human–computer interaction]], a ''modality'' is the general class of:
