1-Introduction To HCI - VLE PDF

This document discusses the key aspects of human-computer interaction (HCI), including its importance, components of the HCI model, definitions of interaction and interface, risks of poor user interface design, and developing interaction. HCI is a cross-disciplinary area that deals with how humans interact with computing devices. It encompasses both the abstract model of interaction and technical realization of interfaces. The risks of poor interface design include reduced effectiveness, efficiency, and user satisfaction. Developing strong interaction requires user and task analysis, prototyping, and iterative design.

Developer Definition
Human–computer interaction (HCI) is a cross-disciplinary area (e.g., engineering,
psychology, ergonomics, design) that deals with the theory, design, implementation, and
evaluation of the ways that humans use and interact with computing devices.

Interaction is a concept to be distinguished from another similar term, interface. Roughly


speaking, interaction refers to an abstract model by which humans interact with the
computing device for a given task, and an
interface is a choice of technical realization
(hardware or software) of such a given
interaction model.Thus, the letter I in HCI
refers to both interaction and interface,
encompassing the abstract model and the
technological methodology (Kim 1)

“Human-centered design is an approach


to interactive system development that
focuses specifically on making systems
usable.
It is a multi-disciplinary activity.”
