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 technology more user-friendly.

* 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
