The ART (Attention-Responsive Technology) research project is developing a
system to enable mobility-impaired individuals to access technology
efficiently. The system monitors both the individual and any ICT devices in
his/her environment. It then uses the individual’s gaze direction to determine
to which ICT device they are potentially attending. This information is
relayed to a user-configurable control panel, which then displays only those
controls that are appropriate, both to the user and to the particular device in
question. The user can then choose to operate the device if s/he wishes. The
initial ergonomic challenges in the development of the ART system are
described
