L1 Flashcards
- Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is a cross-disciplinary area (e.g., engineering,
psychology, ergonomics, design) that deals with the theory, design,
implementation, and evaluation of the ways that humans use and interact with
computing devices.
Human Computer Interaction (HCI)
how people interact with technology
Human Computer Interaction (HCI)
much more important in the recent years as computers and embedded devices
become more commonplace in almost all facets in our lives
Human Computer Interaction (HCI)
how to design function and implement interface for high usability
Human Computer Interaction (HCI)
Interdisciplinary of HCI
- Artificial Intelligence

- Neuroscience
- Sociology
Three Components of HCI
Human
Computer
Interaction
refers to an abstract model by which human interact with computing device
- interface – choice of technical realization / hardware or software of given
interaction model
Interaction
- I in HCI refers to both interaction and interface encompassing the abstract model
and technological interface
Interaction
Purpose of HCI:
- Simple
- Accessible
- Useful
Importance of HCI:
- Value
- Sensitive
- Design
Example of Interface:
- Gesture Interfaces
- Gaze Systems
- Voice Recognition
- Haptics Technologies
- Augmented Reality
- Etc.
Goals of HCI:
- Simple aesthetic appeal of interfaces while satisfying the needs for usability is
critical req for commercial success - Take Pictures/Videos
- Edit Pictures/Videos
- Manage Pictures/Videos
- Share Pictures/Videos
- Voice Activation
encompasses all the feelings, thoughts, sensations and
actions of engaging in some activity.
User experience (UX)
is not just a question of design interfaces, whole human ecology needs to be
considered.
UX
is concerned with many different types of interactive service and product. It
is about designing web services that will run on a computer at work.
UX
Examples of influential interactive products, services and systems:
- iPhone
- Nest Home Control
- Burberry
- i Robo-Q Domestic Toy Robot
y is where a number of different organisms (or devices in this
case) work together to create an environment.
Ecology
UX is increasingly concerned with
interactions that involve a number of different devices: a
device ecology
, is the process of supporting user behavior through usability,
usefulness, and desirability provided in the interaction with a product. User
experience design encompasses traditional human computer interaction (HCI)
design and extends it by addressing all aspects of a product or service as perceived
by users. It covers a wide range of activities.
UXD
Key Concerns of the UX Design
Design
Technologies
People
These are the interactive systems, products, devices and
components themselves. The UX designer needs to know about technologies.
Technologies
- The UX designer needs to consider who will use the systems and services
and whose lives they would like to make better through their designs.
People
UX is about what people want to do, about their goals,
feelings and achievements. UX needs to consider the contexts within which those
activities take place.
Activities and Context
According to Peter Morville, the seven (7) factors that influence UX are:
useful
usable
findable
credible
desirable
accessible
valuable
