“…Yet whether a system proactively adapts its behavior in response to the user input, or whether the users intentionally exploits the system adaptation cannot be stated independently from their knowledge and goals in a particular situation. Here, our emphasis parallels previous insights on foregroundbackground as situational properties [92], the accomplishment of meaning through interaction [24], and more recent criticisms against the use of qualifiers such as "natural" or "intuitive" [11,68,98] to describe interfaces. Thus, part of the problem can be attributed to a confusing mixture of experiential and system properties.…”

The term implicit interaction is often used to denote interactions that differ from traditional purposeful and attention demanding ways of interacting with computers. However, there is a lack of agreement about the term's precise meaning. This paper develops implicit interaction further as an analytic concept and identifies the methodological challenges related to HCI's particular design orientation. We first review meanings of implicit as unintentional, attentional background, unawareness, unconsciousness and implicature, and compare them in regards to the entity they qualify, the design motivation they emphasize and their constructive validity for what makes good interaction. We then demonstrate how the methodological challenges can be addressed with greater precision by using an updated, intentionality-based definition that specifies an input-effect relationship as the entity of implicit. We conclude by identifying a number of new considerations for design and evaluation, and by reflecting on the concepts of user and system agency in HCI.
