Study Notes
Allocation of Functions
- Allocation of functions in HCI refers to the distribution of tasks between humans and machines.
Manual Control
- In manual control, the user is responsible for performing tasks, making decisions, and controlling the system.
Automatic Control
- Automatic control is suitable in HCI when the task is repetitive, predictable, and can be accurately performed by a machine.
Task Suitability
- Manual control is common in tasks that require flexibility, creativity, and adaptability to unique situations.
Design Goal
- The goal of designing an interaction that optimally leverages the strengths of both humans and machines is to achieve efficient and effective task performance, minimizing errors and maximizing user satisfaction.
