Abstract

Human interaction is to a large extent based on implicit, unconscious behavior and the related body language. In this article, we propose ‘Directed Effort’ a generic description of human behavior suitable as user engagement and interest input for higher level human-computer interaction applications. Research from behavioral and psychological sciences is consulted for the creation of an attention model which is designed to represent the engagement of people towards generic objects in public spaces. The functionality of this behavior analysis approach is demonstrated in a prototypical implementation to present the potential of the presented meta-level description of behavior.
