Human-computer interaction (HCI) is the study of interactions between people and computers. It is an interdisciplinary field, relating computer science, psychology, cognitive science, [human factors engineering]? (ergonomics), sociology, library and information science, and other fields. One of the goals of the field is to make computers more user-friendly. Although much of the practical work in HCI revolves around the design of graphical user interfaces, HCI is concerned with a number of topics, including * Interface design methods ** [/user-centered design]? ** [/participatory design]? ** [/value-sensitive design]? ** [/rapid prototyping]? ** [/iterative design]? * Usability testing ** [/user testing]? ** [/heuristic evaluation]? * Technologies ** [GUI toolkit]?s ** [/software architecture]? ** [/input and output devices]? ** computer vision ** [speech recognition]? and natural language processing * [Computer accessibility]? * The Internet * [Computer-supported collaborative work]? * [Software agent]?s and [[\intelligent interface]]s * Information retrieval * [Information visualization]? * Virtual reality * Ubiquitous computing * Wearable computers /Talk |
