Study Notes
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)
- Focuses on designing computer interfaces that are easy to use, efficient, and enjoyable for humans.
Description of HCI
- A multidisciplinary field that combines computer science, psychology, sociology, and design to create interfaces that are intuitive and user-friendly.
Importance of HCI
- Has become more important in recent years due to the widespread use of technology in daily life, making it essential to design interfaces that are accessible and usable by everyone.
Criteria for High Usability
- Learnability: how easy it is for users to learn the interface
- Efficiency: how quickly users can complete tasks once they've learned the interface
- Memorability: how well users can recall how to use the interface
- Errors: how few errors users make while using the interface
- Satisfaction: how pleasant and enjoyable the experience is for users
Supporting Human-Computer Activities
- HCI uses a range of tools and techniques, including user research, user testing, and interface design, to support and fulfill human-computer activities.
