cs case study

How HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) relates to the following fields?

HCI relates in Psychology to understand the role of mental functions in each person and its social behavior, while it is also explore the underlying physiological and neurological processes.

HCI relates in Computer Science through the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation, and their practical techniques for their implementation and application in computer systems.

HCI relates in Language of CS and linguistics concerned with the interactions between computers and human languages, By extension the term also refers to the type of thought process, which creates and uses language, and it is also essential to both meanings is the systematic creation, maintenance and use of systems of symbols, which dynamically reference concepts and assemble according to structured patterns to form expressions and communicate meaning.

HCI relates in Sociology in which an interdisciplinary field focused on the interactions between the users and computer systems, including the user interface and the underlying processes which produce the interactions, it is now on understanding that the relationships among users' goals and objectives, their personal capabilities, the social environment, and the designed artifacts with which they interact. human-computer interaction is also concerned with the development process used to create the interactive system and its value for the users.

HCI relates in Ethnography in which it is often employed for gathering empirical data on human societies/cultures. Data collection is also often done through participant observation, interviews, questionnaires, etc. Ethnography aims to describe the nature of those who are studied through writing in the same way.


HCI relates in semiotics and branding where in The organization as a whole is looked upon as an informal IS, where
the values, beliefs and behaviour of individuals are important. The informal layer aggregates
the formal layer, which is the way individual actions and business processes should be carried
out according to rules in the organisation. It is also a part of

the formal system that is automated.






HCI relates in Design where in each of us provides comprehensive, state-of-the-art coverage of the field, and provides principles and skills for designing any technology through the use of many interesting and state of the art examples.

HCI relates in Engineering which is a practical usability engineering process that can be incorporated into the software product development process to ensure the usability of interactive computer products is presented. It has also basic elements in the usability engineering model are empirical user testing and prototyping, combined with iterative design.

HCI relates in Ergonomics and human factors in which provides a theoretical perspective on human factors and ergonomics (HFE), defined as a unique and independent discipline that focuses on the nature of human-artefact interactions, viewed from the unified perspective of the science, engineering, design, technology. It include a variety of natural and artificial products, processes and living environments.
