Change blind information display for ubiquitous computing environments

Abstract

Occupants of future computing environments with ubiqui-tous display devices may feel inundated with changing digital informa-tion. One solution is to create a reasoning module that accepts requests to display information from multiple applications and controls how the information is presented to minimize visual disruptions to users. Such a system might use information about what activity is occurring in the space to exploit a powerful phenomenon of the human visual system: change blindness.
