Figure 4. Gestalt pr<strong>in</strong>ciples <strong>of</strong> group<strong>in</strong>g that have recently been discovered<br />
Note. (a) Group<strong>in</strong>g by connectedness. (b) Group<strong>in</strong>g by common region.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Gestalt pr<strong>in</strong>ciples <strong>of</strong> group<strong>in</strong>g are presumed to be <strong>the</strong> underly<strong>in</strong>g<br />
assumptions on which perceptual organization is based (Wer<strong>the</strong>imer, 1950). For this<br />
reason, <strong>the</strong> relationship between <strong>the</strong>se pr<strong>in</strong>ciples and attention and navigation has been<br />
carefully considered with respect to human perception <strong>of</strong> real-world spatial environments<br />
(Beck, 1967; Ben-Av, Sagi & Braun, 1992; Duncan & Humphreys, 1989; Johnston,<br />
Schwart<strong>in</strong>g, & Hawley, 1996; Moore & Egeth, 1997; Olson & Attneave, 1970;<br />
Pomerantz & Garner, 1973; Pomerantz & Schwaitzberg 1975; Treisman, Sykes &<br />
Gelade, 1977; Treisman & Gelade, 1980; Treisman, 1982; Treisman, 1985; Yantis,<br />
1992). <strong>The</strong> Gestalt pr<strong>in</strong>ciples <strong>of</strong> group<strong>in</strong>g have also had many diverse applications <strong>in</strong> a<br />
variety <strong>of</strong> doma<strong>in</strong>s <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g audition (e.g., Bregman, 1990), computer vision (e.g.,<br />
McCafferty, 1990), and art (e.g., Arnheim, 1974). Given <strong>the</strong> diverse applicability <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Gestalt pr<strong>in</strong>ciples, it is reasonable to question <strong>the</strong> extent to which <strong>the</strong>se pr<strong>in</strong>ciples could<br />
be applied to enhance user <strong>in</strong>terface design. Does <strong>the</strong> applicability <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Gestalt<br />
pr<strong>in</strong>ciples <strong>of</strong> group<strong>in</strong>g extend well to <strong>the</strong> user <strong>in</strong>terface doma<strong>in</strong>?<br />
Many perceptual phenomena that are observed <strong>in</strong> human-real world <strong>in</strong>teractions<br />
have been observed <strong>in</strong> human-computer <strong>in</strong>teractions as well (Nass & Moon, 2000;<br />
Reeves & Nass, 1996; Reeves & Nass, 2000). Human perception <strong>of</strong> size and distance<br />
