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)
