Basics of Human Computer Interaction: - Presented by - Hadiya Ali - Lecturer

Human-computer interaction (HCI) studies the interaction between people and computers. HCI aims to improve this interaction by making computers more user-friendly and responsive to user needs. It addresses questions like whether computers are too complex, how to make them accessible to all people, and how to standardize interaction while maintaining usability. The key components of HCI are the human, the computer, and the interaction between them at the interface. The goal is to design systems that are easy to use, effective, efficient, safe, and enjoyable to use.

Basics of Human

Computer Interaction
| Presented by | Hadiya Ali | Lecturer |
What is Human Computer Interaction (HCI)?
Definition of HCI:
 Human Computer interaction (HCI) is characterized as a
dialogue or interchange between the human and the
computer because the output of one serves as the input
for the other in an exchange of actions and intentions

 HCI is the study of interaction between people (users)


and computers
Questions Related with HCI
• HCI tackles questions concerning how people
interact with computers
o Are computers complicated?
o How can computers be made accessible to everybody
(e.g. different physical abilities, different languages etc.)?
o To what level can computer interaction be standardized?
o Are computers “user-friendly”?
o What does it mean to be “user-friendly”?
Components of HCI
 Human

 Computer

 Interaction

The 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.
Why do we need to understand
Humans?
 Interacting with technology is cognitive
 Human information processing referred to as cognition
 Human cognition process is involved when interacting with
system, like attention, perception and recognition, memory,
learning, reasoning, problem solving and decision making
 Supply theories, modelling tools, guidance and methods that
can lead to the design of better interactive products
Computer
What is Interaction?
communication
user system
 Interaction refers to a dialogue generated by the command a n d data,
input to the computer and the display, output of the computer and
the sensory input to the human and motor response output of the
human
 There are number of ways in which the user can communicate with
the system
Interface
Interface is made up of a set of hardware devices
and software tools from the computer side and a
system of sensory, motor and cognitive
processes from the human side

Interaction takes place at the


Interface
One of the key concepts in HCI
It is concerned with making systems easy to use

A Usable system is:

Easy to
Effective to Efficient to Enjoyable to
Easy to Use remember Safe to use
use use use
how to use
