The aim of this unit is to ensure learners know the impact Human Computer Interaction (HCI) has on society, economy and culture provides the basic skills and understanding required to enable learners to design and implement human computer interfaces.…
According to John Hopkins medical institute, congestive heart failure occurs most frequently in those who are over the age of 60. This is one of the leading causes of hospitalization and death in that age group. In the United States an average of 5.7 million people suffer from congestive have heart failure. By focusing on what causes congestive heart failure, those at risk, will be able to gain a better understanding of different preventive measurements that will help promote a healthier life.…
In this paper we will analyze the importance of user interface design and how the significant the interface presents itself in our everyday lives. Some of the most basic daily tasks can be accomplished by using at least one type of interface. The most basic purpose of a user interface is needed to communicate with machines. The three most common types of an interface are: touch sensitive interface, menu interface and graphical user interface. Some of the most basic transactions can be conducted through an interface. For example, using a smart phone, laptop, and using an ATM machine are common ways a person…

In 1983, Apple released ‘Lisa’, a true innovation of its day. Lisa was the first mouse-controlled computer. The Apple Lisa was immediately recognized as a significant machine. The Lisa software, in combination with an Apple dot-matrix printer, could produce documents that surpassed other comparably priced options available at the time. This one compelling usage meant that the Lisa was introduced into a number of larger offices-- due to the price-- the number of people who had used a Lisa was much larger than the number of Lisas…
Human (the end-user or the others in the organisation) Computer (hardware or software) e.g. phones, web sites and washing machine controllers and increasingly in clothes, jewellery and buildings Interaction (user “tells” the computer what (s)he wants and computer communicates results) “When users interact with a computer system, they do so via a user interface (UI)” (Stone et al, p3)…
“First introduced in the 1980s, by the late 1990s millions of Americans spent hours a day at work or home typing on personal computers (Keene, 892).” Computers became an important industry in the…
The journey to receiving an education is littered with wonderful experiences and the accomplishment one feels at the end makes it a top contender for one of the most rewarding things in life. However, getting an education isn’t without its difficulties, especially for the non-traditional student who struggle to cope with challenges of maintaining a balance and academic insecurities.…
Computers: they are the modern wonders of our world and consume our daily lives. Acting as one of the most remarkable innovations created over the past ten decades, the computer has revolutionized the modern world, digitizing it despite the public’s unappreciative attitude towards it. Nonetheless, the days of manually executing work have ended, and a fresh era of completing work is at large. At the click of a button, rocket machines are launched, ICU life-support is run, and instant communication is enabled. Computers stand out among any other technological advancement, as they have significantly changed our world through improvements in business, education, and medicine, and continue to develop at an exponential rate.…
To initiate the conversation, I will start with a convenience we use every day, a computer. Personal computers are not just desktops anymore and can come in the form of tablets, laptops and smartphones. They are used to complete a variety of tasks to assist an individual and/or company to stay organized. For this example, I am going to use a gentleman named, Harry. A computer can be used by Harry as an alarm to wake him up in the morning and list the day’s agenda for him. Harry may then use his tablet to check the weather before getting dressed and…
One avenue of research that is beginning to be adopted commercially is the TANGIBLE USER INTERFACE. With a TUI, users interact with a digital system by manipulating physical objects linked to and directly representing some aspect of the system. Thus, the objects are both representations of and controls for digital information. For example, a land developer using a TUI-based interactive table could manipulate tokens that look like buildings and that cause changes directly to the computational model of an entire development plan. The interface thus provides direct input and output. With a GUI, mice or keyboards enable input only. And neither onscreen icons nor their manipulation physically represent either the data being processed or the actions being taken with the information “Tangible user interfaces have emerged as a new interface type that interlinks the digital and physical worlds by computationally augmenting tangible objects to serve as representations of digital information, allowing users to quite literally grasp data with their hands,” noted Wellesley College assistant professor Orit Shaer. “This allows users to apply technology to things you do in a very natural way,” said Microsoft Surface director Somanna Palacanda. For many tasks, TUI proponents say, this enables more effective interaction with digital systems. TUIs have been the subject of research since the 1970s…

In the past, the personnel will do their paperwork manually (manual recording practices). However, as paperwork requirements grew, and the organisations needed more and more information about their employees, there is a need to use the computer-based management information system that getting data and information of the employees to be assessed. In this case, the state-of-art system was introduced and implemented to the organisations.…
