    Introduction To Human-Computer Interaction

    Uploaded by

    Mario Martin Da Silva
    Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is the study of how people interact with computer systems and technology. HCI aims to design interactive products that are easy to learn, effective to use, and provide an enjoyable experience for users. It is important because poorly designed interfaces can cause problems for users. Good design requires understanding how users interact with computers and enabling them to do so effectively.

    Outline

    ● Look at what HCI is


    ● Ask why it is important
    ● Look at some bad design
    Computers Are Ubiquitous

    • an everyday basis by almost everyone.


    • A computer system (or an interactive computer system or just a
    system) is the combination of hardware and software components
    that receive input from, and communicate output to, a user in order to
    support his or her performance of a task.
    • Computer systems may be used directly, as in the case of personal
    computers (PCs) in use at work or at home. Often, though, we use
    embedded computer systems where the technology is invisible to us.
    ● To the user, the interface is the computer system. (Constantine
    and Lockwood, 1999.)
    What is Human-Computer Interaction?

    ● the study of interaction between people and computer-based


    systems
    ● concern with the physical, psychological and theoretical aspects of
    this process
    [Dix et al, p3]
    Why do Human-Computer Interaction?

    ● to enable us to design interactive products


    ● to support people in their everyday and working lives

    [Rogers et al, preface, v]

    Develop usable products:

    ● easy to learn
    ● effective to use
    ● provide an enjoyable experience
    Why is Human-Computer Interaction Important?

    ● There is a lot of design about that can cause problems for users
    ● Good design involves understanding how users interact with
    computers, and enabling them to do so effectively
    Some Problematic Designs

    http://www.baddesigns.com/mouseconnector.html
    Design Suggestion
    To avoid problematic design we need to...

    Take into account


    ● who the users are
    ● what activities are being carried out
    ● where the interaction is taking place

    Optimise the interactions users have with a product


    ● such that they match users’ activities and needs
