Smart interfaces for human-computer intelligent interaction

Abstract

This paper describes smart interfaces for human-computer intelligent interaction (HCII) and their application to VCR remote control using handgestures. The VCR interface is capable of learning the user's operational habits and can help her, aka wizard mode of operation. The adaptive interface monitors the user's gestures in an attempt to assist her through feedback and recommendations using video display and/or loudspeaker. The availability of user's profiles is used to enhance human-computer interactions and to make them appear intelligent, i.e., causal. The smart interface is also suitable for handicapped users and security purposes.
