Attentive user interface
Appearance
The Attentive User Interfaces (AUI) are User Interfaces that manage the user attention deciding when to interrupt the user, the kind of warnings, and the level of detail of the messages presented to the user. Attentive User Interfaces, by generating only the relavant information, can in particular be used to display information in a way that increase the affectiveness of the interaction (Huberman & Wu 2008) .
There are four main types of Attentive User Interfaces (Vertegaal 2003) (Vertegaal et al. 2006) .:
- Visual attention
- Turn management
- Interruption decision interfaces
- Visual detail management interfaces
