Introduction To HCI

HCI is the study of the interaction between humans and computers. It draws from many disciplines including cognitive psychology, computer science, design, and fine arts. The field has evolved through three waves since the 1980s from a focus on rigid guidelines and usability testing to considering context, emotions, and cultural differences. HCI professionals work in roles like interaction design, user experience design, and information architecture to create intuitive experiences for users when interacting with technology like the iPod.

Brief History of HCI Gained prominence in the early 1980s Research at Stanford Research Labs and MIT GUI research at Xerox PARC Apple Macintosh Windows 95 interface Research at Universities and Industrial research laboratories at the corporate level in Xerox, IBM, AT&T, and others Expansion from the desktop to environments to gestures

- 8. First Wave 1980s Rigid guidelines Focus on user and the user dimensions Anthropometry Human factors Work related to the desktop Machine centered notion Usability testing and experimental psychology Tasks based actions
- 9. Second Wave 1990s Context Based Expansion of HCI research to workspaces Context where interactions happened Focus on the word ‘Humans’ from ‘Users’ Emphasis on trying to design for workspace and people around it Focus on newer Methods and Rational Thinking Participatory Design becomes famous
- 10. Third Wave 2000s Expanding the reach of HCI to homes and larger environments Users are now called actors and participants Cultural differences takes prominence Solidified Design Processes being followed Non Rational Thinking adopted Thinking out of the box supported at large Research on non tangible factors like Emotions Design inputs from multiple mediators Wider range of application of technology

Editor's Notes
- #15: # How do you do? What sort of ways do you affect the world: poke it, manipulate it, sit on it? # How do you feel? What do you sense of the world and what are the sensory qualities that shape media? # How do you know? What are the ways that you learn and plan (or perhaps, how we want you to think)?
- #24: HCI Professionals as MEDIATORS. Their ability to be the bridge to help people in the team understand better.
