Summary of History of HCI

00:00:00 - 00:50:00

This video covers the history of human-computer interaction, starting with the invention of the computer and going on to cover different technologies such as touchscreens and eye tracking. It explains how these technologies have improved human-computer interaction and given people more freedom to use computers in their personal lives.

• 00:00:00 This video covers the history of human-computer interaction, starting with the invention of the computer and going on to cover different technologies such as touchscreens and eye tracking. It explains how these technologies have improved human-computer interaction and given people more freedom to use computers in their personal lives.
• 00:05:00 The history of human-computer interaction (HCI) begins with large, expensive computers operated by people, and continues with the introduction of more efficient and user-friendly computers. The film "Hidden Figures" focuses on the role of female computers during the space race, and highlights the importance of HCI in advancing technology and war efforts.
• 00:10:00 The history of computer-aided design (CAD) begins with the invention of the first computers in the early 20th century. These early computers were used to help with various war efforts, including calculating hydrogen bombs. In the 1970s, Ivan Sutherland developed a graphical language called "sketchpad" which allowed designers to solve problems step by step. This technology has since been used by designers all over the world to solve various problems.
• 00:15:00 The history of human-computer interaction (HCI) can be traced back to the early days of computing, when scientists attempted to solve problems using a conventional, typewriter-based method. In the 1960s, Douglas Engelbart developed the X, Y, and Z position indicator for a display system, which led to the first public demonstration of HCI. Over the years, HCI has evolved into a more sophisticated field, with advancements in input devices, display technology, and software. Today, HCI is used in a variety of fields, from computer gaming to customer service.
• 00:20:00 In the early 1960s, Don Andrews published the first comparative study of human-computer interaction, which is now considered an important milestone in the history of HCI. The study showed that using a mouse instead of a pointer could decrease the time it took to select items on a computer screen, and that users could become fatigued from using a mouse.
• 00:25:00 The history of computing begins with the early 1970s, when personal computers were still expensive and large, and IBM created the IBM 5/100. In 1975, Xerox released the Star, the first commercial system to use a desktop metaphor. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, PCs became more affordable and portable, and the command-line interface became more popular. In the 1990s, the Internet and the World Wide Web were born, and computing became more widespread. In the 21st century, computing is ubiquitous and ever-changing, with new devices and platforms being developed constantly.
• 00:30:00 ACM publishes a book detailing the research on human-computer interaction. The book includes chapters on the history of the field, research on user interface design, and research on cognitive psychology.
• 00:35:00 This video discusses the history of human-computer interaction, focusing on the development of early computer models and the effects of hardware and software on human behavior. It also covers the psychology of human-computer interaction, discussing laws that govern how people interact with technology.
• 00:40:00 The video discusses how Apple Computer introduced the Macintosh computer, and how it differed from other computers of the time. It also discusses the importance of user interface design, and how different principles can be used to evaluate a system.
• 00:45:00 The history of human-computer interaction (HCI) covers the development of technologies that allow people to interact with computers. Today, HCI technologies include voice and touch interfaces, mobile apps, and digital assistants. The future of HCI is in devices that are completely invisible to the user, such as brain-computer interface (BCI).
• 00:50:00 The history of HCI focuses on how humans have used technology to interact with each other. This includes the development of portable and workplace computers, keyboards, and touch screens. The course also points out the societal obligations that come with increasing technology.
