1. What is HCI? What is discipline contributing to it?


 HCI or Human–computer interaction studies the design and use of
computer technology, focused on the interfaces between people and
computers. Researchers in the field of HCI observe the ways in which
humans interact with computers and design technologies that let
humans interact with computers in novel ways. Disciplines that have
contributed significantly to the growth of human computer interaction
include: Cognitive psychology. Limitations, information processing,
performance prediction, cooperative working, and capabilities.

2. Why human, machine, and interface are the components of HCI?


 Human
 We can mean "user" as an individual user, a community of
users who work together. It is important to understand the way
the sensory systems of people (sight, hearing, touch) transmit
knowledge. Different users also establish different conceptions
or conceptual models of their experiences and have different
ways of learning and retaining knowledge. Furthermore,
cultural, and national distinctions play a role.
 Machine
 We apply to any technology, ranging from desktop computers
to large-scale computer systems, when we speak about
computers. For instance, if we were discussing a website's
design, the website itself would be referred to as' the machine.'
It is also possible to consider devices such as cell phones or
VCRs to be' computers.'
 Interface
 Differences between humans and computers are evident. In
spite of this, HCI aims to ensure that they all get on with each
other and communicate effectively. You need to apply what you
know about humans and machines, and communicate with
possible users during the design process, to achieve a
functional framework. The schedule and the budget are critical
in real systems, and it is necessary to find a balance between
what would be ideal for the users and what is realistic in
practice.

3. What are the required concepts of HCI in terms of design and


interactive system?
 The term used to describe the technologies that interactive system
designers work with. It intends to cover components, devices,
products, and software systems that are primarily concerned with
processing information. The thinking that deals with the transmission,
display storage or transformation of information that people can
perceive. The devices and systems that respond dynamically to
people's actions.

4. What are the required concepts of HCI in terms of interface?


 The interface to an interactive system is all those parts of the system
with which people come into contact; physically, perceptually, and
conceptually. Physically like pressing buttons, moving levers. The
interactive device might respond by providing feedback. Perceptually
like display things on a screen which we can see. It makes noises
that can hear. Conceptually like trying to work out what it does. What
we should be doing. It is similar to messages/indicators designed to
help us do this. The interfaces consist of input, output, and the HCI
needs a conceptual model for this.
