Making things easier Communication:
1 a the act of imparting, esp. news. b an instance of this. c the information etc. communicated. 2 a means of connecting different places, such as a door, passage, road, or railway. 3 social intercourse (it was difficult to maintain communication in the uproar). 4 (in pl.) the science and practice of transmitting information esp. by electronic or mechanical means. 5 (in pl.) Mil. the means of transport between a base and the front. 6 a paper read to a learned society.
3
Making things easier human–technology communication
communication between people and ICT systems explores the vital role of the human interface in the success of ICT systems some of the most basic issues in human–technology communication, an overview of how the thinking in HTC has evolved in the past two decades some of the changes in the modes and devices of human–technology interaction
4
ICT everywhere ATM—for money Credit cards Video recording
If we have to know details of how everything actually works we will not be able to use technology Human interface may prevent access to ICT of people who have different abilities
5
Basic design issues Usability Efficiency Ease of use Accessibility
Should be simple and easy to use Accessibility
6
Basic design issues Usability
ISO defined the term usability as the ‘effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction with which a specified set of users can achieve a specified set of tasks in a particular environment’. usability has become an important concept not only where an end product is concerned, but also to the whole design process
7
Integrating knowledge, ideas and experiences
user interface, originally known as the man–machine interface (MMI), during the technology explosion in the 1970s. if they could somehow improve the physical appearance of the user interface, they would have better chances of commercial success. User-friendly
8
Integrating knowledge, ideas and experiences
HCI, set of processes, dialogues and actions through which a human user employs and interacts with a computer’ (Baecker and Buxton, 1987, p.40). ‘human–computer interaction is a discipline concerned with the design, evaluation and implementation of interactive computing systems for human use and with the study of the major phenomena surrounding them’ (ACM SIGGHI, 1992, p.6).
9
Integrating knowledge, ideas and experiences
Human–Computer Communication (HCC) Human–Technology Interaction (HTI) Person–Computer Communication (PCC). Human–Technology Communication (HTC) Technology as a whole and not just the computer The field is common to computer scientists and engineers

HTC
11
The changing face of technology
Input devices—keyboard and mouse, microphone device, foot mouse, eye movement typing Line interface Form-based interface GUI
12
Speech based interfacing
Speech-based interfacing is becoming increasingly more common speaking feels more natural than typing on a keyboard, However, it involve a number of very complex processes that can be considerably difficult to get machines to emulate. business-like considerations such as productivity to more social-minded worries such as accessibility by impaired users. Application areas (current and potential) are also various.
13
Making things better Limitation for speech based system
People pronounce differently– it is not robust Other modes of interacting with machines are considered It can be a complimentary way of interfacing with technology Multimodal architecture– more than one way of interfacing It may be inappropriate to speak like in office May be confidential information May cause fatigue

Virtual reality
15
Article 1: A brief history of human computer interaction technology
The industry is driven by academic research The article talks and give dates to how the academia's have developed the technologies we use today
16
Article 2: Taming recognition errors with a multimodal interface
How multimodal interfaces are better Recognition errors
