    Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)

    • HCI involves the collaboration between human users and computer systems to achieve various tasks.
    • The overall aim of HCI is to enhance the interaction experience, making it intuitive for users.

    Usability

    • Usability focuses on making HCI effective, efficient, and satisfying for users.
    • Key characteristics of usability include:
      • Ease of Use: The simplicity and intuitiveness of the interface.
      • Productivity: The degree to which a user can achieve goals quickly and effectively.
      • Efficiency: The resources (time, effort) required to accomplish tasks.
      • Effectiveness: The accuracy and completeness of the user's goals.
      • Learnability: How quickly a new user can become proficient with the system.
      • Retainability: The ability of the user to maintain proficiency over time.
      • User Satisfaction: The overall positive or negative feelings towards the interaction.

    Standard Reference

    • ISO 9241-11 (1997) defines usability and its critical components, emphasizing its importance in HCI.
