Ritchie says to Kismet, “I want to show you this watch my girlfriend gave me.” Kismet dutifully looks at the watch. Kismet was picking up on the social clues and the directions of attention. When Ritchie brought the watch into Kismets center of view, a few inches below his face where Kismet was foveated and when he brought his index finger up and tapped the watch the motion actived Kismets attention system and Kismet maintained eye contact with the watch. Eventually, Kismets attention system decided Ritchie’s face was more interesting and looked back at the eyes of Ritchie. There is nothing qualitatively different from the mechanism in Ghenhis.
