This document provides information about a group assignment for a Human Computer Interaction course. It lists the team members and defines Human Computer Interaction and how it differs from User Interface. HCI involves the study of the interaction between humans and computers, while UI focuses on how users communicate with programs. The document emphasizes that HCI is important because it bridges technology with how people would use it, so designers must consider both technological capabilities and human needs. It also includes a quote about the interdisciplinary nature of HCI and includes a link to a video about the evolution of HCI.

2. HUMAN COMPUTER INTERACTION
(HCI)
Human–computer interaction (HCI) involves the study,
planning, design and uses of the interaction between people
(users) and computers. It is often regarded as the intersection
of computer science, behavioral sciences, design, media studies,
and several other fields of study. (wiki)
The term connotes that, unlike other tools with only limited uses
(such as a hammer, useful for driving nails, but not much else), a
computer has many affordances for use and this takes place in an
open-ended dialog between the user and the computer. (wiki)
3. DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HCI AND
UI
HCI UI
Involves the study, planning,
design and uses of the
interaction between people
(users) and computers
Involves in set
of commands or menus through
which a user communicates
with a program
Communication between
human and computer or
devices
Communication between
human or user and programs
4. WHY HCI IS IMPORTANT?
“Human-‐computer interaction is the kind of discipline which is
neither the study of humans, nor the study of technology, but
rather the bridging between those two. So you always have to
have one eye open to the question: what can the technology
do?
How can you build it? What are the possibilities? And one eye
open to the question: what are people doing and how would t
his
fit in? What would they do with it? If you lose sight of either
of
those, you fail to design well.”
(Terry Winograd, Professor of Computing, Stanford University)
