The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to human–computer interaction:
Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) – the intersection of computer science and behavioral sciences — this field involves the study, planning, and design of the interaction between people (users) and computers. Attention to human-machine interaction is important, because poorly designed human-machine interfaces can lead to many unexpected problems. A classic example of this is the Three Mile Island accident where investigations concluded that the design of the human-machine interface was at least partially responsible for the disaster.
Human–Computer Interaction can be described as all of the following:
Human–computer interaction draws from the following fields:
