Abstract: This paper discusses and evaluates an agent model that is able to manipulate the visual attention of a human, in order to support naval crew. The agent model consists of four sub-models, including a model to reason about a subject's attention. The model was evaluated based on a practical case study which was formally analyzed and verified using automated checking tools. Results show how a human subject's attention is manipulated by adjusting luminance, based on assessment of the subject's attention. These first evaluations of the agent show a positive effect.
