Abstract
In building proactive systems for interacting with users by analyzing and recognizing scenes and settings, an important task is to deal with people’s occupations: Not only do their locations or identities become important, but their looking direction and orientation are crucial cues to determine everybody’s intentions and actions. The understanding of interaction partners or targeted objects is relevant in deciding whether any unobtrusive system should become aware of possible matters or engaged in conversations.
