Human Computer Interaction

Human-computer interaction (HCI) emerged in the early 1980s as a specialty area in computer science that incorporated cognitive science and human factors engineering. Over three decades, HCI has expanded rapidly and attracted professionals from many disciplines, incorporating diverse concepts and approaches. While HCI now aggregates various semi-autonomous fields related to human-centered informatics, its continuing synthesis of different research perspectives in science and practice has created an example of successfully integrating distinct epistemologies and paradigms into a thriving intellectual project.

Human Computer

Interaction
BRIEF INTRO

BY JOHN M. CARROLL

Human-computer interaction (HCI) is an area


of research and practice that emerged in the
early 1980s, initially as a specialty area in
computer science embracing cognitive
science and human factors engineering. HCI has
expanded rapidly and steadily for three
decades, attracting professionals from many
other disciplines and incorporating diverse
concepts and approaches. To a considerable
extent, HCI now aggregates a collection of
semi-autonomous fields of research and
practice in human-centered informatics.
However, the continuing synthesis of disparate
conceptions and approaches to science and
practice in HCI has produced a dramatic
example of how different epistemologies and
paradigms can be reconciled and integrated in
a vibrant and productive intellectual project.
