Overview of Human-Computer Interaction

The aim of human-computer interaction (HCI) is to create truly effective and beneficial interfaces using today's innovative technology. A well-designed interface is especially important to users. The development of HCI to the present is highlighted and the chapter briefly describes HCI's primary components, both human and computer. The various challenges of HCI design, its characteristics, and principles are examined, as well as several HCI guidelines, proposed by experts. The chapter explains general design principles as well as their testing techniques. HCI devices have been developed into recent technologies, such as eye-tracking, or speech recognition. The Internet of Things, cloud computing, and its tools are discussed. Finally, the applications of HCI as well as their advantages and disadvantages are examined.
