== Human-computer interaction ==

Within the field of [[human-computer interaction]] (HCI), the term "user-centered" is commonly used. The main focus of this approach is to thoroughly understand and address user needs to drive the design process. However, human-centered computing (HCC) goes beyond conventional areas like [[usability engineering]], human-computer interaction, and human factors which primarily deal with [[user interfacesinterface]]s and interactions. Experts define HCC as a discipline that integrates disciplines such as learning sciences, [[social sciencesscience]]s, [[cognitive sciencesscience]]s, and intelligent systems more extensively compared to traditional HCI practices.

The concept of human-centered computing (HCC) is regarded as an essential aspect within the realm of computer-related research, extending beyond being just a subset discipline of computer science. The HCC perspective acknowledges that "computing" encompasses tangible technologies that enable diverse tasks while also serving as a significant social and economic influence.
