Week 2 | Interaction & HCI

What is Interaction?
Base on what I understand. Interaction can be explained in so many ways. Interaction (communicating) between humans/animal can be called interaction. Other than that, Interaction can also be explained as, something that was done with two or more objects which have an effect on one another. It can be done by talking, sending/receive messages, touching/selecting options in a computer, and so much more. So to summarize the meaning of Interaction what I can conclude is that Interaction is a communication between humans/animals, and also feedbacks given during an operation of a machines.

Interaction in Design
As you know what interaction is now. We will talk more about interaction but this time involving design. We can simply call it Interaction Design. Interaction Design involves products in digital form, systems and also services. Furthermore, it is related to designers and target audience. It, focuses in satisfying the desire or needs of customers and users who uses the product. Designers have to figure out a way to design the interaction which will fulfil the users needs. The picture above does explain what I am talking about. They say a picture is worth a thousand words.

HCI
HCI is a short form for Human–computer interaction. It involves the interaction between human and a computer and other smart objects to solve human problem. It can occur when you are using an interface, for an example like using Windows, to do your work. It also involves you using the computer mouse, keyboard, touch screen, software like (Mac, Windows) and also pull-down menus. Using computers makes our job easier and with good interfaces it will make our life much more easier in a lot of ways.

Week 2 - 25th October Lecture

this week's lecture mainly talk about HCI,

HCI is the initial or short form for "Human Computer Interaction"
One of its usage is that how real humans problems get solved.

Though the lecture in class was quite long, but i didn't take note along the way, so i can;t say much..

but what i can say is that, as i was listening to the lecture i drew triangles  symbolizing illuminati, and turns out the lecturer showed a slide of something similar to what i drew earlier. just saying.
well if you remember the lecture slides, you might recognize this in one of the slides. this was what i drew,

Week 2 - 25th OCT

Interaction Design

Interaction design is heavily focused on satisfying the needs and desires of the people who will use the product. It aims to define and facilitate interaction between human beings by means of a product or a service. It focuses on the possibilities to create and encourage behavior facilitating an exchange between people.

HCI

The human–computer interface can be described as the point of communication between the human user and the computer. The flow of information between the human and computer is defined as the loop of interaction. The loop of interaction has several aspects to it including:

·        Task Environment: The conditions and goals set upon the user.

·        Machine Environment: The environment that the computer is connected to, i.e. a laptop in a college student's dorm room.

·        Areas of the Interface: Non-overlapping areas involve processes of the human and computer not pertaining to their interaction. Meanwhile, the overlapping areas only concern themselves with the processes pertaining to their interaction.

·       Input Flow: The flow of information that begins in the task environment, when the user has some task that requires using their computer.

·      Output: The flow of information that originates in the machine environment.

·      Feedback: Loops through the interface that evaluate, moderate, and confirm processes as they pass from the human through the interface to the computer and back.
