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.
