    HCI stands for human-computer interaction and studies the design and use of computer technologies with a focus on the interfaces between humans and computers. Key components of HCI include the human, the machine, and the interface. Researchers in fields like cognitive psychology observe how humans interact with computers and design novel ways for interaction. Effective HCI requires understanding human sensory systems, individual differences, and applying that knowledge to machine and interface design while balancing usability and practical constraints.

    1. What is HCI? What is discipline contributing to it?


     HCI or Human–computer interaction studies the design and use of
    computer technology, focused on the interfaces between people and
    computers. Researchers in the field of HCI observe the ways in which
    humans interact with computers and design technologies that let
    humans interact with computers in novel ways. Disciplines that have
    contributed significantly to the growth of human computer interaction
    include: Cognitive psychology. Limitations, information processing,
    performance prediction, cooperative working, and capabilities.

    2. Why human, machine, and interface are the components of HCI?


     Human
     We can mean "user" as an individual user, a community of
    users who work together. It is important to understand the way
    the sensory systems of people (sight, hearing, touch) transmit
    knowledge. Different users also establish different conceptions
    or conceptual models of their experiences and have different
    ways of learning and retaining knowledge. Furthermore,
    cultural, and national distinctions play a role.
     Machine
     We apply to any technology, ranging from desktop computers
    to large-scale computer systems, when we speak about
    computers. For instance, if we were discussing a website's
    design, the website itself would be referred to as' the machine.'
    It is also possible to consider devices such as cell phones or
    VCRs to be' computers.'
     Interface
     Differences between humans and computers are evident. In
    spite of this, HCI aims to ensure that they all get on with each
    other and communicate effectively. You need to apply what you
    know about humans and machines, and communicate with
    possible users during the design process, to achieve a
    functional framework. The schedule and the budget are critical
    in real systems, and it is necessary to find a balance between
    what would be ideal for the users and what is realistic in
    practice.

    3. What are the required concepts of HCI in terms of design and


    interactive system?
     The term used to describe the technologies that interactive system
    designers work with. It intends to cover components, devices,
    products, and software systems that are primarily concerned with
    processing information. The thinking that deals with the transmission,
    display storage or transformation of information that people can
    perceive. The devices and systems that respond dynamically to
    people's actions.

    4. What are the required concepts of HCI in terms of interface?


     The interface to an interactive system is all those parts of the system
    with which people come into contact; physically, perceptually, and
    conceptually. Physically like pressing buttons, moving levers. The
    interactive device might respond by providing feedback. Perceptually
    like display things on a screen which we can see. It makes noises
    that can hear. Conceptually like trying to work out what it does. What
    we should be doing. It is similar to messages/indicators designed to
    help us do this. The interfaces consist of input, output, and the HCI
    needs a conceptual model for this.
