Definition
- Human-computer interaction (HCI) is the study and the design of interaction between people and computers.
- 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. [http://sigchi.org/cdg/cdg2.html (Hewett et al., 2004).
- Design methodologies in HCI aim to create user interfaces that are usable, i.e. that can be operated with ease and efficiency. However, an even more basic requirement is [[cognitive usability], ie. that the user interface be useful allowing the user to complete relevant tasks within a task environment.
