Computers in the Human Interaction Loop

"Computers in the Human Interaction Loop" is a specialized book that focuses on the development of proactive and intelligent computer systems in the context of human interaction. It brings together a variety of research topics necessary for creating such systems. These include the development of audiovisual perception components, the design and analysis of novel proactive services, as well as the development of software architectures and tools. The book is based on the European research project CHLI and highlights the paradigm shift in human-computer interaction, where computers not only function as tools but actively observe and support human interactions. It provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities arising from this new approach.
