HUMAN COMPUTER INTERACTION (HCI)

Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is defined as the study of interaction between people (users) and computers. It is often regarded as the intersection of computer science, behavioral sciences, design and several other fields of study. (Wikipedia, 2013) HCI is a discipline concerned with the design, evaluation and implementation of interactive computer systems for human use and with study of major phenomena surrounding them. (ACM SIGCHI, 1992)

(Compter, n.d.), Human-Computer Interaction, a discipline concerned with the study, design, construction and implementation of human-centric interactive computer systems. HCI (human-computer interaction) is the study of how people interact with computers and to what extent computers are or are not developed for successful interaction with human beings. (Rouse, n.d.)

Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is an area of research and practice that emerged in the early 1980s, initially as a specialty area in computer science embracing cognitive science and human factors engineering. As computers become more and pervasive in culture, designers are increasingly

These can be small adjustments such as having a magnifier to enlarge the area of the screen that your cursor is currently at. The designer has to think about how he/she is going to do this and take into consideration the ease of the interface. There also has to be a large amount of research going into the interfaces as the interface needs to be adjusted to fit the user most effectively.…

    In this paper we will analyze the importance of user interface design and how the significant the interface presents itself in our everyday lives. Some of the most basic daily tasks can be accomplished by using at least one type of interface. The most basic purpose of a user interface is needed to communicate with machines. The three most common types of an interface are: touch sensitive interface, menu interface and graphical user interface. Some of the most basic transactions can be conducted through an interface. For example, using a smart phone, laptop, and using an ATM machine are common ways a person…

    In information technology, the user interface is everything designed into an information device with which a human being may interact -- including the monitor, keyboard, mouse, the appearance of a desktop, characters in text, help messages, and how an application or a Web site invites interaction and responds to it. In the previous generations of computers, there was very little user interface except for a few buttons at an operator 's console. The user interface was mainly in the form of punched card input and report output.…

    What Is Interaction Design

    Interaction design is the structure and behavior of interactive systems. Designers working with interaction design try to create relationships between people, products and the services they use. Not only speaking from computers, mobile devices, applications and beyond, but interaction also happens from user to user and from machine to machine. The core of interactive design is to embed information into the social complexities of the physical world. Interaction doesn’t always apply to electronic devices, it also occurs between organizations, and as mentioned earlier, it can also happen between machines. Interaction design applies to everything. People have been interacting with each other for as long as the human race exists. Interaction design is everywhere. This means that interaction design is an art of integrating interactions between humans through products (devices), and not only from human to human but from human to machine or from machine to machine. Since all the mediums we use are always progressing, the interaction design has to follow these progression. We are now living in the digital era, the internet is everywhere and is integrated in every aspect of our lives. Interactive design has to have a positive effect on us, so when designing things we ought to pay attention to everything. The user should feel comfortable when using a device, if not, the user will have negative emotions about this product and those emotions will be the reason why that specific device won’t be used twice. The designer should ask himself “Will this design affect people’s lives in a positive way?”. At the end, the goal of interactive design is to make us more connected to each other.…
