Perception — Reading Human State, Not Head Position

Attention, task, and context as an inference problem

Note: This audio uses an AI-generated voice model of Varun Siddaraju’s voice, based on his original scripts. It is disclosed explicitly because this work is about trust, explainability, and human-centered systems.

Perception is the first of the four problems behind context-aware XR: reading continuous human state — attention, task, context — not just head pose. Why it’s an inference problem under uncertainty, why it gates well-timed assistance and cognitive-load reduction, and what good perception design looks like. Honest boundary: reliable human-state reading is still open research.
