Abstract: A method to assess a human subject's attention while experiencing dynamic media. An attention-predictive response (e.g. time course of gaze position, or pupil size, or heart-rate, etc.) is monitored while the subject watches the media. Similarity of the time course of this response to the time course of a predicted response provides a quantitative measure of the subject's attention to the media.

Abstract: A data space such as a virtual/augmented reality environment is generated, through which a viewer/point of view may move. The physical world motion of a display outputting the data space is sensed, received, or computed. The motion of a physical world environment in which the display also is sensed, received, or computed. An output adjustment is determined from the display and environment motions, typically being equal to the environment motion(s). Motion of a point of view within the data space to be outputted by the display is determined. The viewpoint motion corresponds with the display motion within physical space adjusted by the output adjustment. At least part of the data space is outputted to the display from the point of view. The point of view is navigated through the data space according to the viewpoint motion.
