Although most of us communicate using multiple sensory modalities, and many of our computers are similarly capable of multi-modal interaction, most human-computer interaction is predominantly in the visual mode. I will describes a toolkit of widgets that are capable of presenting themselves in multiple modalities, but further are capable of adapting their presentation to suit the contexts and environments in which they are used. This will allow applications using the toolkit's widgets to be run on different platforms and in different environments with equal ease. This is of increasing importance as the use of mobile devices becomes ubiquitous.
