2. Definition of Human Computer Interaction
Human–computer interaction (HCI) researches the design and use of computer
technology, focusing particularly on the interfaces between people (users) and
computers.
Researchers in the field of HCI both observe the ways in which humans interact
with computers and design technologies that let humans interact with computers in
novel ways.
HCI is about how people interact with computers and to what extent computers are
or are not developed for successful interaction with human beings.
A significant number of major corporations and academic institutions now study
HCI.

3. Difference Between User Interface and Human
Computer Interaction
User Interface
• Interaction between user and computer.
Human Computer Interaction
• Designed the computer to react with user its involved in the interaction between user
and computer.

4. Importance of Human Computer Interaction
• The methods of user-centered design are quite different from those for the
rest of computer engineering.
• Hence, it is important to have someone with HCI focused skills involved in
all phases of any product of system development.
• HCI will be fundamental to making products more successful, safe, useful,
functional and, in the long run, more pleasurable for the user.
