Human Computer Interface

As technology moves forward, new methods of communicating with computers are becoming possible. Software developers are required to determine whether software is developed with new techniques or traditional tried and tested methods. The developer also needs to measure how well a computer interacts with a user. This unit aims to give students a full understanding of the human computer interface (HCI) and the part it plays in the construction of software that is usable, attractive, efficient and effective. The student is encouraged to explore how well software interacts with the user, fulfils the user's needs and makes allowances for different users. The student will develop a critical appreciation of the advantages and disadvantages of various interfaces currently available and experience the production of a prototype.
