You are cordially invited to attend the Eyes Tea Boston meetings. The Eyes Tea Boston (Internet: www.eyes-tea.net) is a meeting for people conducting eye movement research in the Greater Boston area. It is a forum to informally present ongoing research and to discuss issues regarding the use of eye movement recording in research and application. The 5th Eyes Tea meeting in the greater Boston area: Thursday, October 17th, 2002, 4:30 PM to 6:00 PM at the Liberty Mutual Research Center for Safety and Health in Hopkinton, MA (see www.eyes-tea.net/where.html for directions) Presentation: Gaze-based Interaction as Part of Multimodal Human-Computer Interaction Katharina Seifert, Dr.-Ing. Dipl.-Psych., Department of Human-Machine Systems (Homepage in German: http://www.mms.tu-berlin.de/), Technical University Berlin, Germany and coordinator of the Eyes Tea Berlin (Homepage in German: http://www.zmms.tu-berlin.de/Eyes-Tea/). Abstract: Innovative interactive systems are designed for easier use and access for a wide range of users. In the case of multimodal human-computer interaction, some design questions have to be answered to facilitate the natural and easy use of such a system. Within a multimodal framework the interpretation of eye-movement data is often regarded as a fast and natural means for the interaction with computers. However, it is not quite clear, whether and how the position of the gaze should be fed back to the user. Existing software human factors guidelines and textbooks on Human-Computer Interaction emphasize feedback as general design criterion. By the availability of feedback the users of a system are able to perceive, interpret and evaluate their actions. Without feedback they become insecure about the effects of their actions and might lose the feeling of control over the interface. On the other hand, when a person looks at an object in the natural environment that object does not change or give other signs of feedback. To investigate effects of different forms of feedback on performance and mental workload, a study was performed. This study was one of the many steps of the iterative evaluation accompanying the system development of the multimodal system mUltimo 3D (see http://www.hhi.de/im/en/Archive/mUltimo3D/index.html).
