Study Notes
Definition of HCI
- Human-computer interaction (HCI) focuses on designing, evaluating, and implementing interactive computing systems for human users.
- Encompasses the study of interactions and experiences generated by these systems.
Interdisciplinary Nature
- HCI integrates research methods and tools from multiple fields, including:
- Computer science
- Behavioral science
- Design
- Media studies
Communication Process
- Involves a two-way transfer of information:
- From user to machine
- From machine to user
Alternate Terminology
- Also known as Man Machine Interaction, highlighting the relationship between humans and technology.
User Interface Components
- Includes various elements that users interact with:
- Physical controls (buttons, touchscreens)
- Visual design of the system (layouts, icons)
- Methods for user input (keyboard, voice commands)
- System responses to user input (feedback mechanisms)
- Output of processing results (displays, notifications)
