	Human-computer interaction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A long term goal of HCI is to design computers that can be exploited to their fullest potential as instruments that enhance human creativity, liberate the human mind, and improve communication and cooperation between humans (see CSCW).
		A basic goal of HCI is to improve interaction between user and computers, by making computers more user-friendly and easier to use and also make it convenient for the users to use the technology.
		Interaction between users and computers occurs at the user interface (or simply interface), which includes both hardware (i.e.

		But if we weaken the computational and interaction aspects more and treat the design of machines that are mechanical and passive, such as the design of a hammer, we are clearly on the margins, and generally the relationships between humans and hammers would not considered part of human-computer interaction.
		Interaction with computers is a natural topic for the scope of industrial engineering in the context of how the use of computers fit into the larger design of work methods.
		Computer graphics was born from the use of CRT and pen devices very early in the history of computers.

	Strategic Directions in Human Computer Interaction
		Abstract: Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is the study of how people design, implement, and use interactive computer systems, and how computers affect individuals, organizations, and society.
		Although some areas of computer science are maturing and perhaps no longer have the excitement they once did, the current generally felt concern with developing human centered systems, that is, those that more effectively support people in accomplishing their tasks, is bringing HCI to the center of computer science.
		It involves input and output devices and the interaction techniques that use them; how information is presented and requested; how the computer's actions are controlled and monitored; all forms of help, documentation, and training; the tools used to design, build, test, and evaluate user interfaces; and the processes that developers follow when creating interfaces.

	SI MSI Degree: Human-Computer Interaction
		The specialization in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) educates the professional who is designing and developing technologies that fit the organization and work practices, the work to be done, and the capabilities of the user.
		Students learn how to create effective human-computer interaction both by determining useful system functionality, and by designing a usable interface.
		The "interface" is broadly construed to include not just the visual/auditory display and interaction dialog, but the situation in its entirety, the group in which this task takes place, and the organizational goals and resources.

	Articles - Modality
		In human-computer interaction, a modality is a path of communication between the human and the computer, such as vision or touch.
		In language, modality is the subject concerning so-called modal auxiliary verbs like can, must, and should, that are customarily used to modify the meaning of other verbs (which in turn tend to take an infinitive form).
		In philosophy, modal logic is a form of logic which distinguishes between (logically) "necessary truths" and "contingent truths".

	Ergoworld - HCI/Usability
		The Human-Computer Interaction Group was founded in 1984 to pursue research into the design and evaluation of interactive systems.
		This new science had its origins in the late 1970s as computer scientists, linguists, logicians, philosophers, psychologists, and artificial intelligence researchers, seeking solutions to problems in their own disciplines, turned to one another for help.
		AMODEUS seeks to develop interdisciplinary approaches to studying interactions between users and systems and to establish routes through which such approaches might best be transferred to, and applied by, interface designers.

	BU: Speech Generation
		Human interaction with a computer, like human-human communication, is a two-way dialogue where information from the human is input to the computer (e.g., via keyboard, mouse or voice) and a computer response is generated and communicated to the human in return (e.g., via text or graphical display, or audio output).
		Thus, this project addresses the problem of computer speech generation for human-computer interaction using spoken language, with the goal of improving speech synthesis quality by controlling prosodic parameters based on text generation outputs.
		Speech input and output have not played a major role in human-computer interaction in the past, largely because the technology was not sufficiently advanced.

	Chp 1: Study Methodology and Objectives
		Unlike human-computer interaction in business and many other applications where the human can take a work break at his or her own discretion, in applications such as manufacturing, process industries, telerobotics, and transportation, there is a dynamic system that is ongoing and cannot arbitrarily be stopped to take a break.
		Improvements in human-computer interaction have resulted from research on new hardware and software technologies as well as new ways of thinking about interactions between people and computers and about interactions between people that are mediated by computers.
		The JTEC panel's goal was to summarize research across the broad range of areas involved in human-computer interaction, as well as to highlight issues that would most benefit from increased research activity.
