'''Human–computer interaction''' ('''HCI''') is the process through which people operate and engage with computer systems. Research in HCI covers the design and the use of computer technology, which focuses on the interfaces between people (users) and computers. HCI researchers observe the ways humans interact with computers and design technologies that allow humans to interact with computers in novel ways.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Helander |first=M.

A device that allows interaction between human being and a computer is known as a "'''human–computer interface'''".

A human–computer interface can be described as the interface of communication between a human user and a computer.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Hartson |first=H.

* '''Visual based''': The visual-based human–computer interaction is probably the most widespread human–computer interaction (HCI) research area.
