    Human-computer interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary field that studies the design and use of computer technology. HCI focuses on the interactions between people and computers. Key areas of HCI include graphical user interfaces, natural user interfaces, and examples like data gloves. Disciplines that contribute to HCI include cognitive psychology, computer science, linguistics, engineering, graphic design, and artificial intelligence. While HCI researchers focus more on empirical research, user experience design applies HCI findings to build useful products and services.

    Introduction

    What is HCI?

    Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) 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)

    Human-computer interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary field of study focusing on


    the design of computer technology and, in particular, the interaction between
    humans (the users) and computers. While initially concerned with computers, HCI
    has since expanded to cover almost all forms of information technology design.
    Components of HCI
    Types of HCI

    CLI: command line interface (with keyboard)

    GUI: graphical user interface (mouse)

    NUI: natural user interface with A/V (Kinect)

    Data glove

    A data glove is an interactive device, resembling a glove worn on the hand,


    which facilitates tactile sensing and fine-motion control in robotics and virtual
    reality. Data gloves are one of several types of electromechanical devices
    used in haptics applications.
    Tactile sensing involves simulation of the sense of human touch and includes
    the ability to perceive pressure, linear force, torque, temperature, and surface
    texture. Fine-motion control involves the use of sensors to detect the
    movements of the user's hand and fingers, and the translation of these
    motions into signals that can be used by a virtual hand (for example,
    in gaming) or a robotic hand (for example, in remote-control surgery).
    Within a virtual reality room or other VR environment, a data glove can
    allow you to interact normally with objects -- turning doorknobs, for example --
    and receive haptic feedback to replicate grasping a doorknob and feeling the
    object in your hand rather than just making a gesture in air. Haptic feedback is
    essential to immersiveness, which enables user engagement in virtual
    environments, particularly for applications like VR gaming.

    Disciplines Contributing To HCI

    The Human computer interaction field covers an extensive range of topics and
    its progression is dependent on a number of disciplines. Disciplines that have
    contributed significantly to the growth of human computer interaction
    include:
    Cognitive psychology
    Limitations, information processing, performance prediction, cooperative
    working and capabilities
    Computer science
    Including graphics, technology, prototyping tools, user interface management
    systems
    Linguistics
    Including natural language interfaces
    Engineering and design
    Engineering principles
    Graphic design
    Artificial intelligence
    Intelligent software
    Human factors
    Display readability
    Hardware design

    Despite that, some differences remain between HCI and UX design. Practitioners of
    HCI tend to be more academically focused. They're involved in scientific research and
    developing empirical understandings of users. Conversely, UX designers are almost
    invariably industry-focused and involved in building products or services—e.g.,
    smartphone apps and websites. Regardless of this divide, the practical
    considerations for products that we as UX professionals concern ourselves with have
    direct links to the findings of HCI specialists about users’ mindsets. With the broader
    span of topics that HCI covers, UX designers have a wealth of resources to draw
    from, although much research remains suited to academic audiences. Those of us
    who are designers also lack the luxury of time which HCI specialists typically enjoy.
    So, we must stretch beyond our industry-dictated constraints to access these more
    academic findings. When you do that well, you can leverage key insights into
    achieving the best designs for your users. By “collaborating” in this way with the HCI
    world, designers can drive impactful changes in the market and society.
