Human-Computer Interaction. Theory, Design, Development and Practice

Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and other such immersive environments have gained popularity with the increase in technological trends in the past decade. As they became widely used, the human computer interface design and the designing criteria emerges as a challenging task. Virtual and Augmented Reality provide a wide range of applications ranging from a primitive level like improving learning, education experiences to complex industrial and medical operations. Virtual reality is a viable alternative that can be focussed on, in the future interface design development because it can remove existing generic and complex physical interfaces and replace them with an alternative sensory relayed input form. It provides a natural and efficient mode of interaction, that the users can work with.Virtual and Augmented reality eradicates the need for development of different acceptable standards for user interfaces as it can provide a whole and generic interface to accommodate the work setting.In this paper, we investigated various prospects of applications for user interaction in Virtual and Augemnted realities and the limitations in the respective domains. The paper provides an outline on how the new era of human computer interaction leading to cognition-based communications, and how Virtual and Augmented realities can tailor the user needs and address the future demands which replaces the need for command-based interaction between the humans and computers.

Computer Interaction

Engineering processes and methodologies used in building tomorrow's systems must place a greater emphasis on designing usable systems that meet the needs of the systems' users and their tasks. This paper identifies the need for defining human factors and human-computer interaction (HCI) engineering activities that contribute to the design, development, and evaluation of usable and useful interactive systems, and presents a rationale for integrating these activities with software engineering and incorporating them into the system life cycle.
