HISTORY OF HUMAN COMPUTER INTERACTION
BRIEF HISTORY OF HCI
Human Computer
Interaction(HCI) is an
area of research and
practice that emerged in
the late 1970s and early
1980s, initially as an area
in Computer Science.
BRIEF HISTORY OF HCI
It has expanded rapidly
and steadily for almost
three decades, attracting
professionals from other
different disciplines to
incorporate diverse
concepts and approaches
to this field.
BRIEF HISTORY OF HCI
1970s- The rise of the Personal
Computer.
The broad project of cognitive
science, which incorporated
cognitive psychology, artificial
intelligence, linguistics, cognitive
anthropology, and the philosophy of
mind, had formed at the end of the
1970s.
BRIEF HISTORY OF HCI
1980s- Graphical User
Interface (GUI).
Graphical User Interface
(GUI) is the interface that
is designed for the easier
understanding of the
users of the computers.
BRIEF HISTORY OF HCI
1990s- The Internet and
Collaborative works.
The Internet started journey in
1990s. So, communications
among people became easier. In
the consequence of this, many
new technologies arrived for
better communication.
BRIEF HISTORY OF HCI
2000s- Mobile Computing
During this time, mobile phones,
PDA (Personal Development
Assistance), and Smart Phones
started and are continously
domineering the world. Wide range
of services to the people such as
sms, mms, multimedia, games,
email, internet, chatting, video
conference, GPS and many more
are already available.
BRIEF HISTORY OF HCI
Today and Beyond
Now a days, HCI is used in the
area of Cognitive Science. As
being part of the program of
cognitive science, it was to
articulate systematic and
scientifically informed
applications to be known as
"cognitive engineering".
BRIEF HISTORY OF HCI
Human-computer interaction
studies how humans make or
do not make use of
computational artifacts,
systems, and infrastructures.
RESEARCH TRENDS
● Assimilation of computation
into the environment (e.g.,
VCRs, microwave ovens,
televisions).
● Specialized hardware
leading to new functions
(e.g., rapid text search).
RESEARCH TRENDS
● Increased development of
network communication and
distributed computing.
● Increasingly widespread use
of computers, especially by
people who are outside of
the computing profession.
RESEARCH TRENDS
● Increasing innovation in
input techniques (e.g.,
voice, gesture, pen),
combined with lowering
cost, leading to rapid
computerization by people
previously left out of the
"computer revolution."
RESEARCH TRENDS
● Wider social concerns
leading to improved access
to computers by currently
disadvantaged groups (e.g.,
young children,the older
population and the
physically/visually
disabled).
RESEARCH TRENDS
Computers and related
devices have to be designed
with an understanding that
people with specific tasks in
mind will want to use them in
a way that is seamless
concerning their everyday
work.
RESEARCH TRENDS
To do this, those who design
these systems need to know
how to think in terms of the
eventual users’ tasks and
how to translate that
knowledge into an
executable system.
RESEARCH TRENDS
But there is a problem with
trying to teach the notion of
designing computers for
people.
All designers are people and
most probably, they are users
as well.
RESEARCH TRENDS
7. Embedded Computation.
Computation will pass beyond
desktop computers into every
object for which uses can be
found. To some extent, this
development is already taking
place.
Research Fields in HCI
8. Group Interfaces.
Interfaces to allow groups of
people to coordinate will be
common (e.g., for meetings, for
engineering projects, for
authoring joint documents).
Research Fields in HCI
9. User Tailorability.
Ordinary users will routinely
tailor applications to their use
and will use this power to invent
new applications based on their
understanding of their domains.

INTRODUCTION TO HCI
The
requirements
of the user
should be the
TOP priority.
INTRODUCTION TO HCI
Aspects of Cognitive
Psychology
● how humans perceive the world
around them;
● how humans store and process
information and solve problems;
● how humans physically
manipulate objects.
