Study Notes
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
- HCI is the study of interaction between humans and computers, specifically the design of technology.
- It's a multidisciplinary field focusing on how people interact with computers.
- It focuses on designing interactive computer interfaces to satisfy user needs.
- HCI considers individual users or groups of users interacting with technology.
- Users interact with computers using their senses and effectors.
- The goal of HCI is to develop usable, safe, and efficient systems for end-users.
- End-users need sound understanding of computing systems.
- Design methods, tools, and techniques should allow users access based on their needs.
- System design needs to ensure effective communication and interaction with systems.
- End users' needs always take priority.
- HCI lays the foundation for successful human-computer interaction.
- Usability is important for easy use of computing systems by all types of users.
- HCI user experience (UX): a subjective trait focusing on how users feel about the system.
- User feelings are studied individually to evoke positive feelings while using the system.
HCI Standards
- HCI standards refer to guidelines, principles, and specifications ensuring consistent and effective human-computer interaction.
- Standards aim to improve user experience, usability, accessibility.
- Standards help ensure good practice.
- Standards provide guidance for organizations unfamiliar with user-centered design.
- Standards help support consistency in software and hardware interaction.
- Standards are about usability and quality.
- Standards are related to how usable a product is, including user interface and interaction, plus the development process.
- Organizations such as ISO, IEEE, W3C, ANSI/HFES contribute to HCI standards.
The Human Part
- Humans are central to interactive systems.
- Humans are influenced by external factors like social and organizational environments.
- Systems are designed to assist users.
Input and Output Channels
- Input: primarily through the senses (Sight, Hearing, Touch, Taste, Smell).
- Output: via motor control of effectors (Limbs, Fingers, Eyes, Head, Vocal system).
- Input and output channels are used for communication in interaction with the system.
Visual Processing
- Visual processing involves transforming and interpreting images onto the retina.
- Expectations affect the way we perceive images.
- Optical illusions affect how we perceive size, distance, and symmetry.
- Visual perception of size, distance and familiarity.
- Rods and Cones in the eye help with vision.
Hearing Processing
- Sound is changes or vibrations in air pressure.
- Sound waves travel through the ear (outer, middle, inner) to the auditory nerves.
- Hearing begins with vibrations, and sounds are transmitted and processed.
- Hearing is related to frequency and pitch (high freq./ high pitch).
Touch Processing
- Touch or Haptic Perception gives vital feedback.
- Skin is sensory receptors (thermoreceptors, nociceptors, mechanoreceptors).
- Pressure sensation relates to immediate or continuous input.
- Kinesthesis awareness of position (body and limbs) has impact on comfort, performance.
- Two-point threshold test measures body sensitivity.
Movement Processing
- Movement involves stimulus reception, processing, response generation.
- Reaction time involves input, processing, and response.
- Accuracy and speed of movement important in systems design.
- Variables such as skill, practice, and fatigue influence speed, accuracy.
- Fitt's Law is involved in interaction, target-size and distance influence movement time.
