Preface
As we increasingly rely on technology to perform various tasks in our daily lives, the importance of designing systems that are both effective and easy to use is becoming increasingly apparent. Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is the field of study concerned with the design, evaluation and implementation of interactive computer systems for human use and with the study of important phenomena surrounding them.
Over the years, HCI has evolved into an interdisciplinary field that draws on insights and techniques from computer science, psychology, engineering, design, and other related fields. The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive introduction to HCI for students, practitioners, and researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the fundamental principles and concepts underlying the design and evaluation of interactive computing systems.
In this book, we will explore the different aspects of HCI, including user-centered design, interaction design, usability testing, user experience, accessibility, and the latest trends and innovations in the field. We also cover the theoretical foundations of HCI, such as cognitive psychology, human factors, and the systems approach to design.
Throughout the book we will use several examples to illustrate the concepts and techniques discussed.
Ultimately, our goal is to provide a comprehensive and practical guide to HCI that enables readers to understand and apply HCI principles and techniques to design and evaluate interactive computing systems that are effective, efficient, and enjoyable to use. Whether you are a student, practitioner or researcher in the fields of computer science, design or psychology, we hope this book will provide you with a valuable resource and inspire you to think critically and creatively about the role of technology in our lives.

Chapter 1: Introduction
1.1 Definition of HCI
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a field of study concerned with the design, evaluation, and implementation of interactive computing systems for human use and with the study of major phenomena surrounding them. HCI is an interdisciplinary field that draws on knowledge and techniques from computer science, psychology, sociology, anthropology, and other related fields.
HCI is a broad term that encompasses various aspects of human and computer interaction, including hardware and software design, usability, user experience, user-centered design, and evaluation of interactive systems. The goal of HCI is to create efficient, effective, and satisfying interactions between humans and computers.
HCI is an important field of study due to the growing ubiquity of computers in our lives. With the proliferation of mobile devices, wearables, and other smart technologies, our interactions with computers have become increasingly complex and varied. HCI helps to ensure that these interactions are designed to meet the needs and preferences of users, are intuitive and easy to use, and provide a positive user experience.
The evolution of HCI can be traced back to the early days of computing, when interfaces were primarily text-based and required specialized knowledge to use. As computers became more widespread and more powerful, the need for more intuitive and user-friendly interfaces became apparent. The development of graphical user interfaces
