Our interaction with digital artefacts is governed by our memory, perception and learning abilities. Our acceptance of new interfaces and their effectiveness is closely linked to memory. Creating engaging experiences is an important aim of HCI.
A lot of research has gone into HCI and understanding how people work to improve how computers work. My User Interface Design lectures with Kate Devlin have been invaluable in improving my understanding of how memory influences design and how designers have worked with memory to create engaging user experiences. Designers use memory as a resource for their designs as well as use their understanding of human memory and cognitive processes to inform the way that their designs come to fluition.
Cognitive Process in HCI
• Cognition plays an important role in Human Computer Interaction.
• The term cognition includes understanding, remembering, reasoning, attending, being aware, acquiring skills and creating ideas.
INPUT SENSES: CURRENT Sight, Touch, Sound. FUTURE: Taste & Smell
There are lots of new ways emerging to engage with computers, and increasingly more tactile ways methods of interaction for example the gesture based input of the paper phone.
