Study Notes

What is HCI?

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is the design, implementation, and evaluation of interactive systems.
HCI considers the user's tasks and work environment.
Systems can include non-computerized parts, including other people.
Interaction can be direct or indirect communication between a user and a computer.

Theory and HCI

There is no unified theory of HCI.
The foundation of HCI is that users use computers to complete tasks.
This emphasizes three core issues:
- People
- Computers
- Tasks
The system must support the user's task, leading to the fourth focus: usability.
Usability is about making the system easy and safe to use.
Beyond usability, systems should be engaging, attractive, and appealing.
