What is HCI? Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a field broadly concerned with the design, implementation, and evaluation of interactive technology. It focuses on the intersection of humans and technology, from traditional desktop computers to ubiquitous computing, from novices to experts, able bodied to disabled, and technophobes to technophiles. It concerns a multitude of contexts, from productivity to healthcare to entertainment, to name just a few. In order to address the range of complexities inherent in creating usable and useful interactive technology, the field of HCI is necessarily very broad and highly interdisciplinary.
