Abstract

Human-Computer Interactions: The Way Forward Swapan Purkait*, Harsh Raj** and Souryendu Das*** Humans and computers interact in many ways and facilitating this interaction is the interface between them. With Graphical User Interface (GUI) and Voice User Interface (VUI) having advanced manifold, Human-Computer Interactions (HCI) have move to developing responsiveness to cognitive loads and basic human emotions. This paper brings various aspects of HCI with an introduction to Fitt’s Law, a brief description of the design principles involved, some of the current and future areas of work, and finally, the surprising impact that areas of psychology and emotions can make on interactions. Keywords: Human Computer Interactions, Fitt’s Law, Psychology, Emotions
