'''Human–computer interaction''' ('''HCI''') is the process through which people operate and engage with [[computer]] systems. <ref>{{Cite web |last=Rapp |first=Amon |date=2023-05-24 |title=Human–Computer Interaction |url=https://doi.org/10.1093/acrefore/9780190236557.013.47 |url-status=live |access-date=31 July 2025 |website=Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Psychology |publisher=Oxford University Press}}</ref>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.
