During remote collaboration, partners have access to much less information than during face-to-face collaboration. This project uses psychological experiments to examine how knowing where a partner is looking affects performance and strategies on collaborative tasks. Phase 1 asks: When partners are physically co-present, how aware are they of where the other is attending, and how do they achieve shared attention? Phase II applies these basic results to remote collaborations; partners wear eye-trackers that transmit gaze information to each other's computer displays. A space of tasks and representations is explored: Tasks are varied in systematic ways (e.g., some lend themselves to parallel activity, while others require consensus for each step), and different representations of the same gaze information are compared. The goal is to understand which representations work best for which tasks. With technological advances making eyetracking easier, less cumbersome, and more affordable, a gaze-based computer interface may someday join the ranks of ubiquitous input devices like the mouse. If this technology is to be integrated into the "every citizen interface," it is necessary to understand how people use the information in gaze to achieve a joint focus of attention. This could provide the foundations for new technology for computer-mediated collaboration.

在远程协作期间，合作伙伴可以访问的信息比面对面协作少得多。这个项目使用心理学实验来检验知道伴侣在看什么会如何影响协作任务的表现和策略。阶段1问：当合作伙伴身临其境时，他们在多大程度上意识到对方在哪里出席，以及他们如何实现共同关注？第二阶段将这些基本结果应用于远程协作；合作伙伴佩戴眼球跟踪器，将凝视信息传输到对方的电脑显示器上。探索了任务和表征的空间：任务以系统的方式变化(例如，一些任务适合并行活动，而另一些任务需要每一步的共识)，并比较相同凝视信息的不同表征。目标是了解哪些表示法最适用于哪些任务。随着技术的进步，盯着眼睛看起来更容易、更不麻烦、更负担得起，基于凝视的计算机界面有朝一日可能会加入鼠标等无处不在的输入设备的行列。如果要将这项技术整合到“每个公民的界面”中，就有必要了解人们是如何利用凝视中的信息来实现共同关注的。这可能为计算机协调协作的新技术提供基础。
