Chapter 1 Flashcards
discipline concerned with the design, evaluation, and implementation of
interactive computing systems for human use and with the study of major phenomena
around them.
Human Computer Interaction
A set of processes, dialogues and actions through which human user employs and
interacts with the computer.

Our life is affected in way by computing.
HCI is an important factor when designing any of these interfaces. HCI principles should
be consulted and considered to ensure safe, usable and efficient interface
Importances of HCI in our daily life
Well-designed usable systems ensure that staff are not frustrated during their
work and as a result are more content and productive. HCI is especially important in
the design of safety critical system, such as, for example those found in power plants, or
air control centers. Design errors in these situations can have serious result, possibly
resulting in the death of many people.
Importances of HCI in business and industry
-accessible to people with disabilities
-HCI is to be safe, usable, and efficient system for everyone
Accessibility
-Good use of HCI principles and techniques is not only important for the end-user.
-HCI is very high priority for software development company.
-software is unusable and causes frustration, no person will use the program by choice, thus the sales will fall.
Software Success
HCI provides designers with
the principles, techniques, and tools necessary to design effective interfaces that are
obvious and easy to use and do not require training
