INTROD
UCTION
Imagine
yourself
in a
world
where
humans
interact
with
compute
rs. You
are
sitting in
front of
your
personal
compute
r that can
listen,
talk, or
even
scream
aloud. It
has the
ability to
gather
informati
on about
you and
interact
with you
through
special
techniqu
es like
facial
recogniti
on,
speech
recogniti
on, etc.
It can
even
understa
nd your
emotions
at the
touch of
the
mouse. It
verifies
your
identity,
feels
your
presents,
and
starts
interacti
ng with
you .You
ask the
compute
r to dial
to your
friend at
his
office. It
realizes
the
urgency
of the
situation
through
the
mouse,
dials
your
friend at
his
office,
and
establish
es a
connecti
on.
Huma
n
cognitio
n
depends
primarily
on the
ability to
perceive,
interpret,
and
integrate
audio-
visuals
and
sensorin
g
informati
on.
Adding
extraordi
nary
perceptu
al
abilities
to
compute
rs would
enable
compute
rs to
work
together
with
human
beings as
intimate
partners.
Research
ers are
attempti
ng to add
more
capabiliti
es to
compute
rs that
will
allow
them to
interact
like
humans,
recogniz
e human
presents,
talk,
listen, or
even
guess
their
feelings.
 The
BLUE
EYES
technolo
gy aims
at
creating
computat
ional
machine
s that
have
perceptu
al and
sensory
ability
like
those of
human
beings. It
uses
non-
obtrusige
sensing
method,
employi
ng most
modern
video
cameras
and
microph
ones to
identifies
the users
actions
through
the use
of
imparted
sensory
abilities .
The
machine
can
understa
nd what
a user
wants,
where he
is
looking
at, and
even
realize
his
physical
oremotional

states.
