 Introduction to Human
computer interaction (HCI)
Lecture # 1
Week # 1
What is HCI?
• Human
• Computer
• Interaction

Human-computer interaction is a discipline concerned with the

design, evaluation and implementation of interactive computing
systems for human use and with the study of major phenomena
surrounding them.
Why HCI?
• Design – 3 Words:
• Useful: Function – does things
• Usable: Easy to do things, does things right, enjoyable, user
experience
• Used: Attractive, available, acceptable to organization
• A good design can ensure users carry out their tasks:
• Safely, Effectively, Efficiently, Enjoyably
• The cost to train users is higher
• The cost of human error can be high
Design Problems – Why HCI?
• The psychology of Usable Things
• When simple things need pictures, labels, or instructions, the design has
failed!
