Human-computer interaction (HCI) is a research area that focuses on the design, evaluation, and implementation of interactive systems that are easy to use and provide a positive user experience. It encompasses a wide range of disciplines, including computer science, psychology, design, and engineering. HCI research aims to understand how humans interact with technology and how to design interfaces that are intuitive, efficient, and enjoyable for users. This area explores topics such as user interface design, usability testing, user experience design, interaction design, and accessibility. HCI research is crucial for developing technology that is user-friendly, efficient, and effective in meeting the needs of its users.
