A Systematic Review on Human and Computer Interaction

As technology continues to advance at an unprecedented pace, the interaction between humans and computers has become an integral part of our daily lives. This study provides a comprehensive review of the evolving landscape of human-computer interaction (HCI) research, focusing on the key concepts, methodologies, and advancements in this interdisciplinary field. The review begins by presenting an overview of the historical evolution of HCI, tracing its roots from early command-line interfaces to the current era of intuitive touchscreens and voice recognition systems. The fundamental principles of HCI, including usability, accessibility, and user-centered design, are examined in detail, highlighting their significance in enhancing the overall user experience. Moreover, the review explores various interaction modalities that have emerged over the years, such as graphical user interfaces, haptic feedback, augmented reality, and virtual reality. It examines the strengths, limitations, and potential applications of these modalities, shedding light on the future possibilities they hold for human-computer interaction. Furthermore, the review delves into the emerging trends in HCI research, including natural language processing, gesture recognition, machine learning, and affective computing. These advancements have paved the way for more personalized and adaptive interfaces, enabling computers to understand and respond to human emotions and intentions, thereby fostering deeper levels of engagement and satisfaction. The study also addresses the challenges and ethical considerations associated with human-computer interaction, such as privacy concerns, data security, and algorithmic biases. It emphasizes the importance of designing inclusive and ethical systems that respect users' rights and values.
