Class Rules
Be quiet and be attentive.
Take class exercises seriously.
Zero tolerance for cheating. Zero marks for the copied
quizzes/assignments (very easy to spot copied assignments
when I have only two to evaluate at a time )
If you are late for 15 minutes, then consider yourself
abscent.

HCI-Objective
The Objective of HCI is to:
10
What is HCI? - Human
Human?? Or User
The user is whoever is trying to get the job
done using the technology
An individual User
Group of Users working together
Sequence of users in an organization, each dealing
with some part of the task or process.
11
What is HCI? - Computer
Computer??
any technology ranging from the
general desktop computer to a large-scale
computer system, a process control system or
an embedded system
Any other???
12
What is Interaction?
Interaction??
Any communication between a user and
computer
Can be direct or indirect
Direct interaction involves a dialog with
feedback and control throughout performance
of the task
Indirect interaction may involve batch
processing or intelligent sensors controlling
the environment
13
Why HCI?
In the past, computers were expensive &
used by technical people only.
Now, computers are cheap and used by
non-technical people (different
backgrounds, needs, knowledge, skills)
Computer and software manufacturers have
noticed the importance of making
computers “user-friendly”: easy to use, save
people time, etc.
14
What is HCI?
“Human-Computer Interaction is a discipline
concerned with the design, evaluation and
implementation of interactive systems for
human use and with the study of major
phenomena surrounding them”
(ACM/IEEE)
HCI involves the design, implementation and
evaluation of interactive systems in the context
of the user’s task and work
