Human-centered computing is closely related to other interdisciplinary fields such as [[human-computer interaction]] and [[information science]], and exactly where the boundaries between these fields lie is not clear. Broadly speaking, however, human-centered computing usually concerns itself with systems and practices of technology use. Human-computer interaction is more focused on [[ergonomics]] and the [[usability]] of computing artifacts, while information science is focused on practices surrounding the collection, manipulation, and use of [[information]].

'''Human-Centered Computing''' is also the name of thea subproject of [[NASA]]'s [http://is.arc.nasa.gov/index.html Intelligent Systems Project]. It is focused on the development of adaptive systems that amplify human cognitive, perceptual, and motor capabilities in such domains as: space, mission control operations, air traffic management, safety and security systems.
