Cultural and Global context,
Cyber security and privacy
Creating technology that provides positive and and enjoyable experience for users, that understands how humans interact with computers and designing interface that are intuitive and user friendly
Enhancing User Experience
Effectively and efficiently accomplished their task with minimal errors, well designed interface that can save time reduce frustrations, increase overall satisfaction
Usability improvement
Creates interface that are easy to learn minimize time it takes for users to become proficient with a system or application
Reducing Learning Curve
Making technology accessible to a diverse range of users, includes those with disabilities, design interface that accommodates various needs and insures technology is inclusive that can be used by a broader audience
Accessibility
Well designed interfaces and interaction can significantly enhance productivity and effienciency, creates system that streamline workflows, reduce cognitive load
Productivity and efficiency
Can design interfaces that minimize the likelihood of user errors
Preventing User Errors
Involves continues research and adaptation to evolving user needs and preferences, ensures that technology remains relevant and effective as user expectations
Adapting to User Needs
Emphasized a user-centered design approach involving users in the design process, through technique’s such as testing, feedback, sessions, and usability studies
User-Centered Design
Address the broader social and ethical implications of technology, design choices can impact user privacy, security and overall well-being
Social and Ethical Considerations
Computer Scientist contribute by developing the software and hardware components that facilitate human computer interaction, includes designing algorithms, programming interfaces, and creating system
Computer Science
Study mental processes such as perceptions, attention, memory and problem solving, this knowledge is applied to how users think, learn, and interact with digital interfaces
Psychology
Focuses on creating interfaces that are visually appealing, user friendly and aligned with principles of interaction design, graphic designers to aesthetic industrial designers to physical design or input mechanism
Design (Graphic design, Industrial Design)
Optimizes the interaction between humans and technology, focus on designing interfaces and systems, take into account human capabilities, limitations, and ergonomics
