HCI is all about how people and computers work together. It’s like studying how we humans interact with technology.
Where is HCI Used?
HCI is everywhere! It’s used in various computer systems like air traffic control, nuclear processing, offices, and even in computer games.
What Makes a Good HCI System?
A good HCI system is one that’s easy, safe, effective, and enjoyable to use. Imagine using your computer or phone without any frustration – that’s a great HCI system!
Goals of HCI:
The goals are simple – make systems that are usable, safe, and functional. Developers want to create computer systems that people can use easily and safely.
How Developers Achieve Good HCI:
Developers have a few tricks up their sleeves:
They try to understand how people use technology – what works for us and what doesn’t.
They create tools and techniques to build systems that suit our needs.
The systems they make should be efficient, effective, and safe for us to interact with.
Most importantly, they prioritize people – the users – when designing these systems.
