HCI stands for Human-Computer Interaction, which is the study of how humans interact with computers and design technologies to enhance that interaction. It covers a wide range of disciplines, including computer science, cognitive science, psychology, and design principles, aiming to create user-friendly and efficient interfaces for computer systems5.
HCI stands for Human-Computer Interaction. It is a multidisciplinary field of study that focuses on the design of computer technology and the interaction between humans (users) and computers6. HCI researchers observe the ways humans interact with computers and design technologies that allow humans to interact with computers in novel ways4.
HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) is closely related to cognitive engineering, as it involves studying users and their behaviors in using computers, and is a form of cognitive engineering itself. HCI emerged as a practical need for understanding and improving the interaction between humans and computers, and has its roots in cognitive science, which aimed to create scientifically informed applications known as cognitive engineering.
