Key Points on Human-Computer Interaction and User Experience Design

Lecture 1:

• HCI has become increasingly important as computers and embedded devices have become ubiquitous in our lives.
• HCI focuses on designing interactions and implementing interfaces for high usability.
• The letter "I" in HCI refers to both interaction and interface.
• UX designers aim to design interactive systems and services that are enjoyable, useful, and enhance people's lives.
• Peter Morville identified seven factors that influence UX: useful, usable, findable, credible, desirable, accessible, and valuable.
• The seven factors are arranged in the "User Experience Honeycomb."
• UX designers need to consider the whole human-device ecology and human-human interaction enabled by interactive systems.

Lecture 2:

• HCI is about how people interact with technology.
• Transition criteria for process activities are based on whether goals and objectives have been met.
• Mapping project parameters to process parameter choices is important for effective UX design.
• Not using an effective UX process can lead to alienating customers and negatively impacting a company's success.
• ISO 13407 is a standard for user-centered design processes.
