Introduction
If there was a Moore's Law for user interfaces, it would state that the number of computers per user will double every two years. In the past four decades, we have moved from many users sharing a single mainframe computer through …What's in the Eyes For Attentive Input
Eye-tracking systems hold some of the greatest potential among AUIs. Here, two systems that focus on eye gazing demonstrate how this simple form of visual attention can perform a level of common interactive tasks.Interacting with Groups of Computers
AUIs recognize human attention in order to respect and react to how users distribute their attention in technology-laden environments.Models of Attention in Computing and Communication: from Principles to Applications
