Human Computer Interaction
Brief History of HCI
• Gained prominence in the early 1980s
• Research at Stanford Research Labs and MIT
• GUI research at Xerox PARC (research and development
company in Palo Alto, California)
• Apple Macintosh
• Windows 95 interface
• Research at Universities and Industrial research laboratories at
the corporate level in Xerox, IBM, AT&T, and others
• Expansion from the desktop to environments to gestures

Human Computer Interaction


Second Wave 1990s
• Context Based.
• Expansion of HCI research to workspaces.
• Context where interactions happened.
• Focus on the word ‘Humans’ from ‘Users’.
• Focus on newer Methods and Rational Thinking.
• Participatory Design becomes famous.

Human Computer Interaction


Third Wave 2000s
• Expanding the reach of HCI to homes and larger environments
Users are now called actors and participants.
• Cultural differences takes prominence.
• Thinking out of the box supported at large.
• Research on non tangible factors like Emotions.
• Design inputs from multiple mediators.
• Wider range of application of technology.

Human Computer Interaction


Course Outcomes
• Upon completion of this course, students will have the ability
to:
• Evaluate user interfaces using heuristic(enabling someone to discover
or learn something for themselves.) evaluation and user observation
techniques
• Apply user centered design and usability engineering
principles as they design a wide variety of software user
interfaces.
• Conduct simple formal experiments to evaluate usability
hypotheses.

Human Computer Interaction


Course Description
• This course explores the emerging field of human-computer
interaction. Emphasis is placed on how software design principles are
integrated with human factors principles and methods.
• It provides a broad overview of HCI as a sub-area of the computer
sciences and offers specific background relating to user-centered
design approaches in information systems applications.
