This course offers a comprehensive introduction to Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), exploring the dynamics of user and computer interactions. HCI sits at the crossroads of computer science, design, and behavioral sciences, focusing on improving usability and addressing user needs through effective interface design. Students will learn about methodologies for designing and implementing interfaces, techniques for evaluating them, and the development of new interaction methods and predictive models. Assessment will include programming assignments, a midterm, and a final exam.

Textbook "Human-Computer Interaction” (3rd Edition) by Alan Dix (Author), Janet E. Finlay (Author), Gregory D. Abowd (Author), Russell Beale (Author)
Overview • Human–computer interaction (HCI) is the study of interaction between people (users) and computers. • It is often regarded as the intersection of computer science, behavioral sciences, design and several other fields of study. • Interaction between users and computers occurs at the user interface (or simply interface), which includes both software and hardware.
Overview (cont.) • A basic goal of HCI is to improve the interactions between users and computers by making computers more usable and receptive to the user's needs. • HCI is concerned with: • methodologies and processes for designing interfaces. • methods for implementing interfaces. • techniques for evaluating and comparing interfaces. • developing new interfaces and interaction techniques. • developing descriptive and predictive models and theories of interaction.
