Human Computer Interaction?
 In daily life, we use/interact with various
devices/machines/systems to fulfill a task
or an objective:
 For examples:
 Computers
 Mobile Phones
 Cars
 Vending Machines (ATM etc )
 Many more..
Human Computer Interaction?
 There is a huge diversity in
 Devices/Machines
 Types of Users
 Nature of Tasks/Objectives
 And, Ways of Interacting
Human Computer Interaction?
Basic Scenario
HumanComputer
Interaction
Human Computer Interaction?
 It is a field of study that deals with:
 Humans (Users)
 Computers (Technology)
 Interaction (Any Communication)
HCI- Objective
 The objective of HCI is to :
design interactive Products/Systems to
support people in their everyday and
working lives.
HCI - Human
 Human?? Or User
 The user is whoever is trying to get the job
done using the technology
 An individual User
 Group of Users working together
 Sequence of users in an organization, each
dealing with some part of the task or process.
 A range of users???
HCI - Human
HCI - Computer
 Computer??
 any technology ranging from the
general desktop computer to a large-scale
computer system, a process control system
or an embedded system.
 Any other?
HCI- Computers
HCI - Interaction
 Interaction?? Any communication
between a user and computer
 Direct interaction involves a dialog with
feedback and control throughout
performance of the task
 Indirect interaction may involve batch
processing or intelligent sensors controlling
the environment.
HCI  Formal Definition
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
(ACM/IEEE)
HCI  A Successful Product
 useful  accomplish what is required: play
music, cook dinner, format a document;
 usable  do it easily and naturally, without
danger of error, etc.;
 used  make people want to use it, be
attractive, engaging, fun, etc.
HCI  A Successful Product
Automatic Syringe
