This book serves as a foundation to the field of HCI, equipping readers with the necessary knowledge and skills to engage in this field. Human‑Computer Interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary field exhibiting increasing significance in the modern world, shaping our interactions with technology and transforming our daily lives. HCI plays a critical role in bridging the gap between human capabilities and technological breakthroughs. As technology becomes progressively intertwined with our daily lives, it plays a significant role in enhancing human interaction with advanced information technologies. This book serves as a foundation for the field of HCI. It covers the historical background, contributing disciplines, essential concepts and theories within the domain. This book also delves into human functionalities and characteristics relevant to interaction, including sensory perception, attention and memory, language and communication, emotions, decision‑making, as well as mental models, human error, and human actions. Moving forward to the realization of interaction, traditional techniques provide users with foundational methods for engaging with computers and digital systems. These techniques have adapted and endured, shaping user experiences and catering to evolving technological landscapes. Keyboard input, a versatile mainstay, allows efficient text entry and commands, especially valuable for programming and command‑line interfaces (CLIs). The mouse, in tandem with Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs), revolutionized navigation through pointing, clicking, and dragging. Touch input, introduced with touchscreen devices, offers a direct and intuitive interaction with content. Menu‑based interfaces create structured hierarchies for accessing functions and information, while CLIs remain a powerful choice for experts who value precision.
