What is Human Computer Interaction (HCI)

1.

The study of how humans interact with computers and programs. HCI 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.

2.

The study of how people and computers interact, combining aspects of computer science, psychology, sociology, aesthetics and ergonomics, as well as many others. Learn more in: Ambient Intelligence in Perspective

3.

Involves the study of interaction between people and computers where the interface of computer and people enables goal accomplishment. Learn more in: Human Computer Interaction and the Best Mix of Face-to-Face and E-Interactions inEducational Settings

4.

The study of how humans interact with computer based systems. This includes computers as well as hand held devices. The aim of HCI is to provide better and human centred interfaces. Learn more in: Organizing Contextual Data in Context Aware Systems: A Review

5.

Is the study and planned design of human and computer activities. Learn more in: Lookable User Interfaces and 3D

6.

The study of how people and computers interact, the effects of these interactions on both the users and the computers, and the design and testing of new user interfaces for the purpose of improving the computer’s user-friendliness. HCI combines aspects of computer science, engineering, psychology, sociology, aesthetics, and ergonomics, as well as many other fields. Learn more in: Pervasive Wireless Sensor Networks

7.

Involves the study of interaction between people and computers where the interface of computer and people enables goal accomplishment. Learn more in: Human Computer Interaction and the Best Mix of Face-to-Face and E-Interactions inEducational Settings

8.

HCI is concerned with usability (i.e. the ease with which humans are able to interact with a system in order to achieve their objectives) and has subsequently spawned the field of user interface design (UID), user interaction design (UxD), human centred design, and most recently User experience design (UX).
