Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a dynamic and interdisciplinary field that strives to create and implement innovative tools and techniques to enhance the seamless and efficient interaction between humans and computers. In recent years, there has been a growing interest among HCI researchers and practitioners in incorporating gaze gestures, as well as other forms of physical communication, into the realm of HCI. These gestures encompass a wide range of movements, from facial expressions to hand gestures, leg movements, and even whole-body movements, and can even involve groups of agents or society as a whole.

The book delves into these human-centric issues, covering the development, design, analysis, and implementation of HCI systems. It provides a comprehensive state-of-the-art overview, complemented by original proposals. Unlike traditional formal and IT-based analyses, the discussion in this book emphasizes relevant research results from psychology, psychophysiology, and other soft sciences. Additionally, the book makes remarks on the relevance of affective computing, a field that aims to develop computer systems that can understand, interpret, and respond to human emotions and feelings.

HCI is a rapidly evolving field, and the inclusion of gaze gestures and other forms of physical communication is expected to play a significant role in shaping the future of computing. By understanding the nuances of human-computer interaction, researchers and practitioners can develop more intuitive, user-friendly, and effective systems that enhance our daily lives and interactions with technology.
