HOW HUMAN INTERACT WITH COMPUTERS?

1. What is Human Computer Interaction?
   It is the study of interaction between people and computer-based system.

2. What is brain storming relating to Human Computer Interaction?
   Brainstorming is a method design teams use to generate ideas to solve clearly defined design problems. In controlled conditions and a free-thinking environment, teams approach a problem by such means as “How Might We” questions. They produce a vast array of ideas and draw links between them to find potential solutions.

3. What is Contextual Inquiry?
   Contextual inquiry is a semi-structured interview method to obtain information about the context of use, where users are first asked a set of standard questions and then observed and questioned while they work in their own environments.

4. What is Making sense data?
   It is to educates readers on the steps and issues that need to be considered in order to successfully complete a data analysis or data mining project.

5. What is dynamic prototype in Human Interaction?
   A prototype is an early sample, model, or release of a product built to test a concept or process or to act as a thing to be replicated or learned from.

6. Discuss the technology and change?
   Technology, the application of scientific knowledge to the practical aims of human life or, as it is sometimes phrased, to the change and manipulation of the human environment.
   Our technology now is improving, it makes our life easier but this will have a bad effect if we will not use it properly.

7. What is Human Computer Interaction?
   Human-computer Interaction is a multidisciplinary field of study focusing on the design of computer technology and, in particular, the interaction between humans (the users) and computers.

8. Discuss the concepts of interaction design?
   Interaction Design (IxD) is the design of interactive products and services in which a designer's focus goes beyond the item in development to include the way users will interact with it.

9. Differentiate the Computer and Human-Computer Interaction?
   Computer is an electronic device for storing and processing data, typically in binary form, according to instructions given to it in a variable program, while Human-computer Interaction is a multidisciplinary field of study focusing on the design of computer technology and, in particular, the interaction between humans (the users) and computers.

10. Discuss Data Gathering and Requirements Analysis with focus in HCI aspects?
    The data gathering methods they choose to use are focus group, questionnaires and natural observation. They choose these methods because these are the most appropriate for their project in terms of validity and knowing the problems of the websites.

The data analysts will gather the data. It will be gathered by going to the company to observe their tasks and operations, getting information from the stakeholders and users via questionnaires and focus groups.

The data will be analyzed by observing the most common requests and answers, say and determine what is needed and the problems of the system.

1. What are Interfaces Design and Prototyping?
   User interface (UI) prototyping is an iterative development technique in which users are actively involved in the mocking-up of the UI for a system. UI prototypes have several purposes: A basis from which to explore the usability of your system. A vehicle for you to communicate the possible UI design(s) of your system.
