Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) Is The Study of Interaction Between People (

Human-computer interaction (HCI) is the study of how people interact with computers at the user interface, which includes both software and hardware. HCI draws from multiple fields including computer science, behavioral sciences, and design. It aims to design, evaluate, and implement interactive computing systems that are easy for humans to use by applying knowledge about users and machines.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human%E2%80%93computer_interaction Humancomputer interaction (HCI) is the study of interaction between people (users) and computers.

It is often regarded as the intersection of computer science, behavioral sciences, design and several other fields of study. Interaction between users and computers occurs at the user interface (or simply interface), which includes both software and hardware, for example, general-purpose computer peripherals and large-scale mechanical systems, such as aircraft and power plants. The Association for Computing Machinery defines human-computer interaction as "a discipline concerned with the design, evaluation and implementation of interactive computing systems for human use and with the study of major phenomena surrounding them."[1] Because human-computer interaction studies a human and a machine in conjunction, it draws from supporting knowledge on both the machine and the human side. On the machine side, techniques in computer graphics, operating systems, programming languages, and development environments are relevant. On the human side, communication theory, graphic and industrial design disciplines, linguistics, social sciences, cognitive psychology, and human performance are relevant. Engineering and design methods are also relevant. Due to the multidisciplinary nature of HCI, people with different backgrounds contribute to its success. HCI is also sometimes referred to as manmachine interaction (MMI) or computerhuman interaction (CHI).
