INTERACTION
It refers to the exchange of information, actions, and responses between
humans and computer systems.
Interaction design aims to create intuitive, efficient, and enjoyable
interactions between users and computer systems.
It involves understanding user needs, designing user interfaces, and
evaluating the usability and effectiveness of the interaction.
Human Computer Interaction (HCI)
It’s focused on understanding and improving our interactions with technology and
information systems and how our behavior effects by that technology and how
coevolve with it.
This user-centered design approach improves the usability, effectiveness, and overall user experience of
the systems.
User Satisfaction and Engagement: HCI recognizes the importance of user satisfaction and
engagement.
Satisfied and engaged users are more likely to be productive, loyal, and have a positive perception of the
technology.
Why Human Computer Interaction ?
Error Reduction: HCI principles and methodologies help identify and address potential
usability issues and user errors in the design process.
Accessibility and Inclusivity: HCI promotes the design of computer systems that are
accessible to a diverse range of users, including those with disabilities.
Innovation and Future Technologies: HCI plays a crucial role in shaping the development
and adoption of emerging technologies by understanding user needs and behavior.
Ethical Considerations: HCI takes into account privacy, security, data protection, and
ethical guidelines to ensure that computer systems respect user rights and societal values.
Key components of HCI
The user: HCI focuses on understanding the characteristics, needs, and goals of the
users who interact with computer systems.
• Users can vary in terms of their knowledge, skills, background, age, and abilities.
• By analyzing and modeling tasks, HCI professionals can design interfaces and
interactions that support efficient and effective completion of tasks.
Evaluation and User Feedback: HCI involves evaluating the effectiveness, usability,
and user experience of computer systems.
• This can be done through user testing, surveys, interviews, and other evaluation
methods.
Key components of HCI
User Interface: The user interface (UI) is the medium through which users interact with
a computer system.
It encompasses the visual and interactive elements, such as screens, menus, buttons, icons,
and controls, that enable users to input commands, receive feedback, and access
information.
HCI focuses on designing intuitive, usable, and aesthetically pleasing user interfaces.
Bad design
• Encumbering, Confusing, Slow
• Costs lives, money and time.
• Bad user interface in software's have costs serious injury and many deaths.
Assess decisions from the vantage point of users, their work and their environment
• Until the late 1970s, only IT professionals and dedicated hobbyists interacted with
computers. This changed disruptively with the emergence of personal computing in
the later 1970s.
• Then HCI becomes an area of research and practice that emerged in the early
1980s
