Attentive Interfaces for Multiple Monitors
نویسندگان
چکیده
The use of multiple monitors is becoming popular but it creates problems for pointer movement, window management, and control of applications. We suggest combining the standard input devices of keyboard and mouse with attentive user interface techniques. A user’s work with conventional input devices will naturally be based around a focal region, but that focus can be rapidly transferred in response to attentive input.

Designing for augmented attention: Towards a framework for attentive user interfaces
Attentive user interfaces are user interfaces that aim to support the user’s attentional capacities. By sensing the users’ attention for objects and people in their everyday environment, and by treating user attention as a limited resource, these interfaces avoid today’s ubiquitous patterns of interruption. Focusing upon attention as a central interaction channel allows development of more soci...
متن کاملGaze and Speech in Attentive User Interfaces
The trend toward pervasive computing necessitates finding and implementing appropriate ways for users to interact with devices. We believe the future of interaction with pervasive devices lies in attentive user interfaces, systems that pay attention to what users do so that they can attend to what users need. Such systems track user behavior, model user interests, and anticipate user desires an...
متن کاملAttentive Groupware
In this paper we present a combined perspective over groupware and attentive user interfaces. The problem that we address is how to attenuate the distracting effects of the multiple interruptions that characterize computer-mediated collaboration, while maintaining the necessary notion of group awareness. We introduce a framework of group attention consisting of collaboration facets, information...
متن کاملLightweight task/application performance using single versus multiple monitors: a comparative study
It is becoming increasingly common to see computers with two or even three monitors being used today. People seem to like having more display space available, and intuition tells us that the added space should be beneficial to work. Little research has been done to examine the effects and potential utility of multiple monitors for work on everyday tasks with common applications, however. We com...
متن کاملM5: Making Multiple Monitors More Manageable
The goal of M5 is to understand how window management techniques might be shaped to offer a more efficient and enjoyable multiple-monitor experience. Two observations constitute the foundation of the M5 project: (1) despite many years of system-building work in the area of window management, there is surprisingly little evaluation work in the area, and (2) the increasing ubiquity of single-user...
