Influence of user's mental model on natural gaze behavior during human-computer interaction
Abstract
Natural gaze behavior during human-computer interaction provides valuable information about user's cognitive processes and intentions. Including it as an additional input modality therefore provides great potential to improve humancomputer interaction. However, the relations between natural gaze behavior and underlying cognitive processes still is unexplored to a large extend. In this paper we identify and characterize major factors influencing natural gaze behaviour during human-computer interaction with a focus on the role of user's mental model about the interactive system in that context. In a user study we investigate how natural gaze behavior can be influenced by interaction design and point out implications for usage of gaze as additional modality in gaze-based interfaces.
