Week2: We learned about HCI.
What is HCI?
According to Webopedia, HCI is the short term for Human-Computer Interaction. It's a discipline concerning study, design, construction and implementation of human-centric interactive computer system. HCI goes beyond designing screens and menus that are easier to use and studies the reasoning behind building specific functionality into computers and the long-term effects that systems will have on humans.
Meanwhile, Wikipedia says that HCI is the study, planning, and design of the interation between people and computers. It is often regarded as the intersection of computer science, behavioral sciences, design and other fields of study. Interaction between users and computers occurs at theinterface, which includes both software and hardware such as monitors, keyboard and mouse, and other user interactions with large-scale computerized systems such as aircraft and power plants.
The computer is a perfect example of HCI: We interaction by typing/clicking and any feedback is displayed on the screen.
