Rapid serial visual presentation to deliver messages in social spaces

A computer system for delivering a private message to one or more users, wherein the one or more users are associated with a network enabled device in an environment, wherein the environment is equipped with a sensing apparatus and a second device, the system comprising:

• at least one computer processor circuit comprising:
• a receiving module configured to:
• detect a first device associated with a first user in the environment;
• connect, in response to the detecting, the first device to the computer system;
• and
• receive the private message directed to the first device;
• a determining module configured to:
• receive data from the sensing apparatus, wherein the data indicates a location of a fixed visual focus of the first user;
• determine, from the data, the location of the fixed visual focus of the first user;
• and
• a transmitting module configured to:
• send, based on the location of the fixed visual focus of the first user, the message to the second device, the second device configured to use rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP).

A computer program product for delivering a private message to one or more users, wherein the one or more users are associated with a network enabled device in an environment, wherein the environment is equipped with a sensing apparatus and a second device, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the program instructions executable by a computer processing circuit to cause the circuit to perform the method comprising:

• detecting, by a computer system, a first device associated with a first user in the environment;
• connecting, in response to the detecting, the first device to the computer system;
• receiving, by the computer system, the private message directed to the first device;
• receiving data from the sensing apparatus, wherein the data indicates a location of a fixed visual focus of the first user;
• determining, by the computer system and from the data, the location of the fixed visual focus of the first user;
• sending, based on the location of the fixed visual focus of the first user, the message to the second device, the second device configured to use rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP).
