Abstract

A widely accepted prediction is that computing will move to thebackground, weaving itself into the fabric of our everyday livingspaces and projecting the human user into the foreground. Torealise this prediction, next-generation computing should developanticipatory user interfaces that are human-centred, built forhumans and based on naturally occurring multimodal humancommunication. These interfaces should transcend the traditionalkeyboard and mouse and have the capacity to understand and emulatehuman communicative intentions as expressed through behaviouralcues, such as affective and social signals. This article discusseshow far we are to the goal of human-centred computing andHuman-Centred Intelligent Human-Computer Interaction(HCI2) that can understand and respond to multimodalhuman communication.
