We present our work towards estimating the engagement of a person to
the displayed information of a computer monitor. Deciding whether a user
is attentive or not, and frustrated or not, helps adapting the
displayed information of a computer in special environments, such as
e-learning. The aim of the current work is the development of a method
that can work user-independently, without necessitating special
lighting conditions and with only requirements in terms of hardware, a
computer and a web-camera.
