Human Computer Interaction, Cognitive Cybernetic & Captological Education

Human-Computer Interaction and Cognitive Psychology in Visualization Education

A curriculum designed to educate those who design, develop, and deploy scientific visualizations and/or visualization tools needs to contain a strong component of both human-computer interaction and human cognition. The argument centers around two observations. The first is the rapidly increasing breadth of application for computer-based visualizations and the tools for creating them. The secon...

Human-Computer Interaction Education and Diversity

In this position paper I discuss the pros and cons of homogenising education in the field of human-computer interaction. The field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) has diverse origins, which led to its multidisciplinarity still prevailing today. As Grudin puts it: ‘different views of humancomputer interaction are presented as a way of understanding forces that have kept the field fragmented....

Cognitive Modeling in Human-Computer Interaction

Human Computer Interaction Using Vision-Based Hand Gesture Recognition

With the rapid emergence of 3D applications and virtual environments in computer systems; the need for a new type of interaction device arises. This is because the traditional devices such as mouse, keyboard, and joystick become inefficient and cumbersome within these virtual environments. In other words, evolution of user interfaces shapes the change in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). In...
