Hci Model-1

Human-computer interaction (HCI) is a discipline concerned with designing and evaluating interactive systems that are easy for humans to use and studying the relationship between users and computers. HCI involves users, computers, and the interaction between them. Key aspects of HCI include user interface design, implementation, and evaluation to support productivity and safety. HCI draws from multiple disciplines like computer science, psychology, and design. Factors like the user, task, interface, organization, and environment must be considered in HCI.

Human-Computer Interaction

HCI Definition

Human-computer interaction is a
discipline concerned with the design,
evaluation and implementation of
interactive computing systems for
human use and with the study of major
phenomena surrounding them.
Human-Computer Interaction
Human
– the end-user
– the others in the organisation
Computer
– hardware
– software
Interaction
– user “tells” the computer what (s)he wants
– computer communicates results
Practical implication of HCI
 Design,
 Implementation and
 Evaluation of user interfaces
Importance of HCI
 Productivity
– individual (e.g. installations, word
processing)
– organisational (changing job content,
satisfaction, working environment, power
and influence)
 Safety (e.g. nuclear plants, flight
control)

Factors in HCI
Organisational: job design, Environmental: noise,
roles, policies, heating, lighting, ventilation,

Health: stress, The user : motivation, Comfort :


headaches satisfaction, experience seating

User interface : I/O devices, color scheme, icons, dialogue, help


Task : complexity, novelty, allocation, repetitions, monitoring

Constraints : costs, timescales, staff, equipment, building

System functionality : hardware, software, network


Productivity : output, quality, costs, errors, production time

User Interface design guidelines
 Principles: simplicity, support, familiarity,
obviousness, encouragement, satisfaction,
accessibility, safety, versatility,
personalisation, affinity
 Web style guidelines: specify a reason for the
site, define your audience, etc.
 Site-specific conventions: provide search &
