the Annual Review of Psychology
[www.annualreviews.org/doi/10.1146/annurev.psych.54.101601.145044], state that
human-computer interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary field in which psychology and
other social sciences unite with computer science and related technical fields with the goal
of making computing systems that are both useful and usable. It is a blend of applied and
basic research, both drawing from psychological research and contributing new ideas to it.
New technologies continuously challenge HCI researchers with new options, as do the
demands of new audiences and uses.Diane Hickey
[https://seedfund.nsf.gov/topics/human-computer-interaction] further states that HCI is
an intersection of multiple disciplines, including computer science, behavioral sciences,
human-centered design, media studies, and several other fields of study.Virtual Reality;
Augmented Reality, Tactile Technologies, Wearable Computing…oh my.Tasks:Using
