HCI by Yau Fen Nie


We got our 1st Interaction Studies's lesson about HCI(Human Computer Interface).
According to Wikipedia, Human–computer Interaction (HCI) is the study,planning and design of the interaction between people and computers. HCI is the study of how people interact with computers and to what extent computers are or are not developed for successful interaction with human beings.
Historically and with some exceptions, computer system developers have not paid much attention to computer ease of use. Many computer users today would argue that computer makers are still not paying enough attention to making their products user-friendly. However, computer system developers might argue that computers are extremely complex products to design and make and that the demand for the services that computers can provide has always outdriven the demand for ease of use.
