What is Human-computer Interaction?
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is the study of how people interact with computers and digital interfaces. HCI focuses on improving the usability, accessibility, and overall satisfaction of technology design by understanding user behavior and needs.
Key Areas of HCI Research:
- Usability: Ensuring interfaces are easy to use and navigate.
- Accessibility: Making technology available and usable for people with disabilities.
- User Experience: Enhancing the overall interaction between users and technology to improve satisfaction.
HCI research informs the design of technology by providing insights into how users interact with digital systems, helping to create more effective and user-friendly products.
