Theory:
Explore on career in HCI.
Human-computer interaction (HCI) is the study and planned design of human and computer
activities. HCI uses productivity, safety and entertainment to support and fulfill human-
computer activities and is applied to various types of computer systems, including air traffic
control, nuclear processing, offices and computer gaming. HCI systems are easy, safe, effective
and enjoyable.

Software engineering focuses on the production of software application solutions, whereas HCI
focuses on discovering methods and techniques that support people. HCI designers always
consider HCI usability and user experience goals for effective user interaction. Not all usability
and user experience goals apply to every interactive computer system because certain
combinations are incompatible. HCI designers also consider potential contexts, tasks at hand
and computer system users.
