Human-computer interaction
  • 1. Human-computer interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on the design, evaluation, and implementation of interactive computing systems for human use. It involves studying how people interact with computers and designing technologies that let humans interact with computers in meaningful and effective ways. HCI draws on principles and knowledge from computer science, psychology, design, sociology, and other fields to create user-friendly interfaces and experiences. By understanding user behaviors, preferences, and needs, HCI aims to improve the usability, accessibility, and overall user experience of technology products and services.
