Who is the founder of HCI?
With this vision in hand, Alan Kay and his colleagues at Xerox PARC start building the foundation of the first real graphical user interface. It took them a decade to get it all together, to get it ready to ship. Xerox released the STAR computing system in 1981.
What is the original name of HCI?
Human Computer Interaction
Human Computer Interaction – brief intro. Human-computer interaction (HCI) is an area of research and practice that emerged in the early 1980s, initially as a specialty area in computer science embracing cognitive science and human factors engineering.
Who invented interaction?
The term interaction design was coined by Bill Moggridge and Bill Verplank in the mid-1980s, but it took 10 years before the concept started to take hold. To Verplank, it was an adaptation of the computer science term user interface design for the industrial design profession.
When did HCI become popular?
Human Computer Interaction(HCI) is an area of research and practice that emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s, initially as an area in Computer Science. HCI has expanded rapidly and steadily for three decades, attracting professionals from many other disciplines and incorporating diverse concepts and approaches.
Why study Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)?
In the English-language Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) Master of Science programme, students acquire sound knowledge on theoretical and practical state-of-the-art methods and technologies in the fields of interface design, usability and interactive system development with a focus on technical aspects.
How does Clarivate determine the “who’s who” of influential researchers?
The methodology that determines the “who’s who” of influential researchers draws on the data and analysis performed by bibliometric experts from the Institute for Scientific Information at the Web of Science Group, part of Clarivate Analytics.
How many NYU faculty were named to the Highly Cited Researchers list?
Twenty-three New York University faculty have been named to the 2019 Highly Cited Researchers list from the Web of Science Group. The annual list recognizes world-class researchers selected for their significant influence in their fields, which at NYU, range from genomics to economics and cardiology to neuroscience.
What is included in the HCI program?
“HCI Fundamentals” and “HCI Technologies” are covered with four modules: Psychology, HCI Concepts and Methods, Visual Interfaces and Computer Vision. Within each module, students can choose one of two courses on offer. Each module has 6 ECTS (24 ECTS in total). Research projects are offered by our professors and research groups every semester.
