Abstract

Context-aware human-computer interfaces that rely on a person's attention as the primary input can be called attentive interfaces. Attention is epitomised by eye contact — eyes are not only scanning devices, they are constantly making social commentary by how people gaze as well. Concentrating on the autonomic and social responses that eyes communicate allows eye tracking to drive attentive interfaces. Eye-based attentive interfaces can be improved by noting the way people scan objects and take advantage of the lingering stare, roving gaze, and nervous blink in a language of ocular attention. Even simple sensors are able to deduce many of these social cues.
