 Human-computer interaction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A basic goal of HCI is to improve interaction between user and computers, by making computers more user-friendly and easier to use and also make it convenient for the users to use the technology.
Interaction between users and computers occurs at the user interface (or simply interface), which includes both hardware (i.e.
A long term goal of HCI is to design computers that can be exploited to their fullest potential as instruments that enhance human creativity, liberate the human mind, and improve communication and cooperation between humans (see CSCW).

 ACM SIGCHI Curricula for Human-Computer Interaction : 2. Definition and Overview of Human-Computer Interaction
But if we weaken the computational and interaction aspects more and treat the design of machines that are mechanical and passive, such as the design of a hammer, we are clearly on the margins, and generally the relationships between humans and hammers would not considered part of human-computer interaction.
Interaction with computers is a natural topic for the scope of industrial engineering in the context of how the use of computers fit into the larger design of work methods.
Instead of workstations, computers may be in the form of embedded computational machines, such as parts of spacecraft cockpits or microwave ovens.

 Strategic Directions in Human Computer Interaction
Abstract: Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is the study of how people design, implement, and use interactive computer systems, and how computers affect individuals, organizations, and society.
Although some areas of computer science are maturing and perhaps no longer have the excitement they once did, the current generally felt concern with developing human centered systems, that is, those that more effectively support people in accomplishing their tasks, is bringing HCI to the center of computer science.
It involves input and output devices and the interaction techniques that use them; how information is presented and requested; how the computer's actions are controlled and monitored; all forms of help, documentation, and training; the tools used to design, build, test, and evaluate user interfaces; and the processes that developers follow when creating interfaces.
