Eye gaze is one of the most important aspects in modeling human-human communication,
and has great potential in improving human-humanoid interaction. In human
face-to-face communication, eye gaze plays an important role in floor management,
grounding, and engagement in conversation. In human-robot interaction research,
social gaze, gaze directed at an interaction partner, has been a subject
of increased attention.
This is the fourth workshop on Eye Gaze on Intelligent Human Machine Interaction.
In the previous workshops, we have discussed a wide range of issues for
eye gaze; technologies for sensing human attentional behaviors, roles of
attentional behaviors as social gaze in human-human and human-humanoid
interaction, attentional behaviors in problem-solving and task-performing,
gaze-based intelligent user interfaces, and evaluation of gaze-based UI.
In addition to these topics, this year’s workshop focuses on eye gaze in
multimodal interpretation and generation. Since eye gaze is one of the
facial communication modalities, gaze information can be combined with
other modalities or bodily motions to contribute meanings of utterances
and serve as communication signals.
This workshop aims to continue exploring this growing area of research
by bringing together researchers including human sensing, multimodal processing,
humanoid interfaces, intelligent user interface, and communication science.
We will exchange ideas to develop and improve methodologies for this research
area with the long term goal of establishing a strong interdisciplinary
research community in “attention aware interactive systems”.
