Exercise
➢ Pretend it’s 2000: draw a computer
➢ Back to 2020: draw a computer
➢ Think about 2025: draw a computer

Exercise

Which part is
the computer?

Anybody draw this?

Lesson:
Our view of the
computer is
inherently tied
to the
interface.

HCI, Definition
Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is the study
of interaction between people (users) and
computers.
HCI is a discipline concerned with the design,
evaluation and implementation of interactive
computing systems for the human use and with
the study of major phenomena surrounding them.

Goals of HCI
Allow users to carry out tasks
➢ Safely
➢ Effectively (Accessibility)
➢ Efficiently (usability)
➢ Enjoyably (Pleasure)

To achieve HCI goals, you will
need to learn
➢How to design
➢How to implement
➢How to evaluate user interface

HCI, where does it
come from?

What is design?
It is the process of envisioning and planning
the creation of objects, interactive systems,
buildings, vehicles, etc.
It is user-centered, i.e. users are at the
heart of the design thinking approach.
It is about creating solutions for people,
physical items or more abstract systems to
address a need or a problem.
(definition from Strate school of design)

“There are three responses to a piece of design,
yes, no and WAW, WAW is the one to aim for”
Milton Glaser

“Always design a thing by considering it in its
next larger context- a chair in a room, a room
in a house, a house in an environment, an
environment in a city plan”
Eliel Saarenin

User experience design (UX)
It is the process of enhancing user
satisfaction with a product by
improving the usability,
accessibility, and pleasure
provided in the interaction with
the product.

I know more about
everything than anybody
The worst case: to
believe that you are
better than everyone
else and act
accordingly.
