ABSTRACT
We present a mechanism for initiating mediated conversations through eye contact. An eyePHONE is a physical proxy of a remote individual that senses and conveys attention using an eye tracking device and a pair of actuated eyeballs. Users may initiate calls by jointly looking at each other's eyePHONE. We discuss how this allows participants to implement some of the basic social rules of face-to-face conversations in mediated conversations.

Eye contact sensing glasses for attention-sensitive wearable video blogging
CHI EA '04: CHI '04 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe present ECSGlasses: eye contact sensing glasses that report when people look at their wearer. When eye contact is detected, the glasses stream this information to appliances to inform these about the wearer's engagement. We present one example of ...
Hands on cooking: towards an attentive kitchen
CHI EA '03: CHI '03 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsTo make human computer interaction more transparent, different modes of communication need to be explored. We present eyeCOOK, a multimodal attentive cookbook to help a non-expert computer user cook a meal. The user communicates using eye-gaze and ...
OverHear: augmenting attention in remote social gatherings through computer-mediated hearing
CHI EA '05: CHI '05 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsOne of the problems with mediated communication systems is that they limit the user's ability to listen to informal conversations of others within a remote space. In what is known as the Cocktail Party phenomenon, participants in noisy face-to-face ...
