 What's up guys? I need three minutes on this one just because there's so much information. So time has gone So human computer interaction comes from a book in the 80s And it was about it was called the psychology of human computer interaction I'm gonna leave a link in the description and you've probably come to this video because you may be thinking about studying human computer interaction or HCI and What effectively that is is it's the psychology of interaction between humans and computers? So I Am a practicing UX designer and UX actually is The wider spectrum human computer action is a part of that and so is graphic design and then there's other things like industrial design like the actual Physical design of the device so UX is I guess it's all the jobs who call that It's just the practice in version of HCI HCI is a form of I guess it's Studying and it's specifically studying the interaction between humans and computers. So because computers have a dialogue with people It's not like just a hammer that you use and you use it. However, it kind of feeds back There's a lot of psychology that goes on so the study of human computer interaction is really understanding and The psychology of the person using the device and there's lots of different ways you can and I Guess you can affect the psychology of someone using it and that might be Okay, just making things simple so people like using the product, but In my opinion, there's a part of graphic design which come into HCI So that could be Like the type of images that you use that affects people's psychology So when Obama was doing his campaign They did a lot of AB tests about the type of images that he used on his website to get people to sign up And they found that maybe color ones work better than black and white ones and there's a whole article about it I'll link to it in the description So that's interesting so that whole psychology around there then there is other bits like typography and all these bits work into HCI So what I found is I found a couple of great resources for you. I'm going to leave a link in the description So I found the best colleges and universities in America that do HCI and you might want to check them out I've also got a free course on my website a bit of self-promotion so it takes about an hour you learn all the basics of UX design which HCI is a part of and That's linked in the description as well, and I'll leave a link to the original book from the 80s So I think HCI has moved on from the 80s. It's moved on to UX design because actually there's other things than just The one-on-one interaction between the person and the device there's things like sound and there's I think Asphetics is really really important the way you know Apple made the devices feel nice. They made kind of like luxury products With their like brawn reinvented the way products were designed and I'd say that's actually part of the human computer interaction Not just the actual interface design a lot of people ask what's best to study is it I studied graphic design It's a graphic designer human computer interaction. I think graphic design is great because you can Write time is done So graphic design is great because you can apply all of those all of those graphic design theories apply to computers But human computer interactions great if you just want to focus on the cycle more the cycle like psychological bits the research bits The the juicy bits of understanding how people interactive computers I hope that lesson made sense guys if you think of this area smash a like and Subscribe I'm trying to grow this channel as fast as I can make sure you check out the resources. There's some great Resources in the description actually. There's a course. I'm linking from the University of San Diego Which is free and it's like 11 months So it's a great resource if you want to do some free online training check out my course There's loads of students on there now and you might meet some friends and learn a few things along the way And until next time keep designing
