Introduction to Human-Computer Interaction

Human-computer interaction focuses on the design of computer technology only.

The goal of HCI is to make the interaction between users and computers more difficult.

HCI is concerned with the physical and psychological aspects but not theoretical aspects.

HCI is primarily focused on the capacity of computers to process information.

A computer system user is now more likely to understand the technology compared to before.

HCI involves direct communication between humans and computers only.

Humans have unlimited capacity to process information.

Virtual reality systems do not require special interaction and display devices.

Short-term memory is stored on magnetic and optical disks.

Input devices for interactive use do not include speech input.

Emotion does not influence human capabilities.

Physical controls are not part of the various devices in the physical world.
