Nabil (19152225) Human Computer Interaction Unit 10Introduction
The field of HCI, studies how well humans can communicate with computers and what factors
influence the success of such interactions. HCI's primary goal is to make technology more
approachable and less specialised so that people can live simpler, ordinary lives. A major way that
HCI helps people is those with medical conditions like speech and visual impairment by making daily
living easier for them. In general, HCI has a significant influence on future developments, the
economy, society, and culture. I'll go into further depth about how this affects each of the four.
Society:
Numerous people in society face a range of difficulties daily. HCI aids and support to those with daily
issues. Many beneficial and encouraging human-computer interactions are used these days. HCI
provides a range of solutions for people with disabilities, such as those who have trouble speaking or
seeing. An example of this would be an eye gaze, a hands-free device that allows you to interact and
carry out tasks using your eyes. This helps those with cerebral palsy and makes their daily lives
easier. Another example is hands-free devices like the mouth stick, which has a rubber mouthpiece
at one end and a tip that helps people who may be unable to use their hands.
Virtual reality is another area where HCI is highly beneficial. With goggles or specialised headgear,
you can interact with a 3D virtual world in virtual reality (VR). You have the option to completely
separate the simulation from reality. VR hopes to become more often used in conventional jobs. You
can combine Facebook Oculus virtual reality (VR) eyewear with your laptop to explore an artificial
environment. Virtual reality is less costly and time-consuming because it may be experienced
remotely and supports a variety of learning styles. Driving can be made easier with the use of head-
up displays, a technology that presents important information like speed and navigation without
requiring the driver to shift their field of vision. updated, modern vehicles Usually arrive with these
popular head-up displays installed.

Large appliances used in homes, like dishwashing machines and washing machines, can be seen as
domestic appliances. These devices, which require less time and complexity to operate, make
people's lives at home easier. Using a microwave as an example, you may put your product in and
select the length of time it should be in to achieve the desired result. Everyone benefits from this,
but notably those who spend most of their time at home or in busy environments. There are now
remote controls for games, TVs, and other devices. This has an effect since everyone can change the
television by pressing a few buttons, control drones easily, and save money because these are much
less expensive.
Most modern devices have data logging built in. When a device examines, records, and saves data, it
is said to be data logging. Checking the weather is one example; everyone may view the current
weather anywhere. By using data logging, anyone can effortlessly extract the information from their
device without wasting any time.
Interfaces designed for harsh situations have significantly improved. The army uses robots and
remote-controlled devices to dispose of bombs, lowering the possibility of user or controller
damage. In addition to being utilised for bomb disposal, remote-controlled robots are also employed
in manufacturing, aircraft, and many other industries. These robots are quite helpful since they
reduce the possibility of user injury and boost workplace productivity. In general, employing remote-
controlled robots rather than humans will help lower hazards because they are safer and less
expensive. This is morally preferable since we can utilise HCI to complete these activities rather than
endangering people's lives, as they are too risky and dangerous.
