Software That Grabs Your Attention
Overview We intend to study how human attention interacts with computer software. The long term vision is to make all software interact with people through a flexible mechanism that customizes the timing and content of interaction to conform with the needs of the user and helps improve the focus of attention, without causing distraction This research will focus on the extreme case where the normal human attention mechanism has been disrupted. As a result, this research will expose difficult software interface questions and highlight issues that might otherwise remain obscure. We will determine what kind of model of attention is required for reasoning about user-interaction in an educational system. We expect that dynamic models are required, and this research will explore their development. Our proposed research will generate fundamental insights critical to the successful deployment of attention models.
