Frontiers in Attentive Environments: An Overview of IBM's BlueEyes Project

Myron Flickner, IBM Almaden Research Center

IBM's BlueEyes research project is chartered to explore and define attentive environments-environments that are user and context aware. As computers become invisible, pervasive, location/context aware, a shift from explicit actions to implicit actions is taking place in the user interface. As evidence of this shift, MAGIC pointing (gaze enabled pointing), our SUITOR (Simple User Interest Tracker) system, the Emotion mouse, and Pong, our attentive robot, will be demonstrated.
