Human-Computer Interaction Guide

Human-computer interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on the design and evaluation of the interaction between humans and computers. HCI draws from fields like engineering, psychology, and design to study how people use computers and to improve the ways humans interact with technology. When designing for human-computer interaction, researchers must consider human abilities, limitations, and what users expect from computers.

HUMAN COMPUTER INTERACTION

Definition

• is a multidisciplinary field of study focusing on


the design of computer technology and, in
particular, the interaction between humans (the
users) and computers.

• is a discipline concerned with the design,


evaluation and implementation of interactive
computing systems for human use and with the
study of major phenomena surrounding them."

• is a cross-disciplinary area (e.g., engineering,


psychology, ergonomics, design) that deals with
the theory, design, implementation, and
evaluation of the ways that humans use and
interact with computing devices.

HUMAN

• Humans are the users of the computers.

• HCI should always consider about what users


expect and need, what physical abilities and
limitations they may have, how their perceptual
systems work, and what they find attractive and
enjoyable when they use computers.

• When humans interact with computers, they


bring to the encounter a lifetime of experience.
Designers must decide how to make products
attractive without distracting users from their
tasks.

COMPUTER

• A computer carries on its business in a much


less obvious way. The information a computer
contains and the operations it performs are
represented inside the computer in a form that
we can’t directly observe- binary digits encoded
as two levels of electrical charge.

• What a computer displays does not arise


naturally from what it is doing inside. Any
feedback the user might need must be explicitly
planned out and programmed.

INTERACTION

• is a concept to be distinguished from another


similar term, interface.

• Refers to an abstract model by which humans


interact with the computing device for a given
task, and an interface is a choice of technical
realization (hardware or software) of such a
given interaction model.
