Attention Based, Naive Strategies, for Guiding Intelligent Virtual Agents

The AtGentive project [1,2] focuses on the support of attention in learning environments. To achieve this objective the system analyses the learners' computer activities and physical states and, on the basis of this analysis, it generates interventions. Such interventions either supply learners with information useful to support their current attentional focus, or are aimed at attracting the user's attention to new foci.
