Human–computer interaction (HCI) or, alternatively, man-machine interaction (MMI) or computer–human interaction (symbolized as χ Chi, the 22nd letter of the Greek alphabet) is the study of interaction between people (users) and computers. It is an interdisciplinary subject, relating computer science with many other fields of study and research. Interaction between users and computers occurs at the user interface (or simply interface), which includes both software and hardware, for example, general purpose computer peripherals and large-scale mechanical systems such as aircraft and power plants.
Aspects and goals
Interdisciplinary aspects
Combined with computer science and information technology are fields including:- Aesthetics
- Anthropology
- Artificial intelligence
- Cognitive science
- Computer vision
- Design
- Ergonomics
- Library and information science
- Philosophy
- Phenomenology
- Psychology
- Social psychology
- Sociology
- Speech-language pathology
Goals
A basic goal of HCI is to improve the interaction between users and computers by making computers more user-friendly and receptive to the user's needs. Specifically, HCI is concerned with- methodologies and processes for designing interfaces (i.e., given a task and a class of users, design the best possible interface within given constraints, optimizing for a desired property such as learnability or efficiency of use)
- methods for implementing interfaces (e.g. software toolkits and libraries; efficient algorithms)
- techniques for evaluating and comparing interfaces
- developing new interfaces and interaction techniques
- developing descriptive and predictive models and theories of interaction
