Abstract
Mechanisms are provided, in a data processing system comprising a fusion sensor service and a human computer interaction (HCI) device, for responding to a user input. The HCI device receives a user input from a first sensor monitoring a monitored environment. The fusion sensor service captures, via one or more second sensors different from the first sensor, sensor data representing characteristics of one or more entities within the monitored environment indicative of a condition within the monitored environment. The fusion sensor service determines whether the user input is specifically directed to the HCI device based on the captured sensor data. The HCI device performs an operation in response to the data processing system determining that the user input is specifically directed to the HCI device based on the capture sensor data.
