Assignment: Human Computer Interaction: Submitted By: Mr. Muhammad Saqib Hayat Dated: 23 June, 2020

The document discusses human-computer interaction and human vision in an HCI environment. It provides 7 points for interpreting visual signals like size, depth, brightness, color, and context. It also compares human vision to computer vision in an HCI environment. Key differences noted are that human vision is sensitive to faces while computer vision needs training, human field of view is 220 degrees while computer vision can have 360 degrees, and human vision varies in ability across the field of view while computer vision is uniform.

Assignment: Human Computer Interaction

Submitted by: Mr. Muhammad Saqib Hayat

Dated: 23rd june, 2020


Q#1: What is HCI and describe seven points for interpreting the signals?
Human-Computer Interaction is a discipline concerned with the design, evaluation and
implementation of interactive computing systems for human use and with the study of major
phenomena surrounding them.

Interpreting Signals:

 Size and depth

 visual angle indicates how much of view object occupies


(relates to size and distance from eye)

 visual acuity is ability to perceive detail (limited)

 familiar objects perceived as constant size


(in spite of changes in visual angle when far away)

 cues like overlapping help perception of size and depth

 Brightness

 subjective reaction to levels of light

 affected by luminance of object

 measured by just noticeable difference

 visual acuity increases with luminance as does flicker


 Colour

 made up of hue, intensity, saturation

 cones sensitive to colour wavelengths

 blue acuity is lowest

 8% males and 1% females colour blind

 The visual system compensates for:

 movement

 changes in luminance.

 Optical illusions sometimes occur due to over compensation


 Context is used to resolve ambiguity
Q#2 Differentiate the human vision and computer vision in HCI Environment?

Human Vision Computer Vision


Human vision is extremely sensitive Computer vision systems can be
to other human faces. It sees faces trained to see human faces but they
when they are not really there. have nothing like the same inbuilt
bias for seeing them when they may
or may not even be there.

Human field of view is 220 degrees, ie But computer vision systems can have
everything that is in front of us and a 360 degree field of view, and there is
little bit more. no “front” and “back”.

Computer vision technology is mostly Compare this with human vision,


uniform across all parts of the field of where what we are best at seeing
view. varies across the field of view.

There are two types of light sensor in But computer vision sensors don’t
the human visual system. have this specialization.
