Programme: HU!" C#PU$E% I"$E%!C$I#"
=s technoloy mo#es forward, new methods of communicatin with computers are "ecomin
possi"le. $oftware de#elopers are required to determine whether software is de#eloped with new
techniques or traditional tried and tested methods. %he de#eloper also needs to measure how well a
computer interacts with a user.
%his unit aims to i#e learners a full understandin of the human computer interface '12I) and the
part it plays in the construction of software that is usa"le, attracti#e, efficient and effecti#e. %he learner is
encouraed to e3plore how well software interacts with the user, fulfils the user&s needs and makes
allowances for different users. %he learner should de#elop a critical appreciation of the ad#antaes and
disad#antaes of #arious interfaces currently a#aila"le and e3perience the production of a prototype.
$tudents need to create a report and produce the solution for the followin:
=. >3plain De#elopments in 12I with >3amples? @p,A
=nswer: Since the 1990s, HCI has engaged increasingly with development through an interdisciplinary
field known as "information and communication technologies for development
User Interface Software and Tools
ser interface software and tools is concerned with user interface concepts and metaphors, display and
interaction techni!ues, and software development methods" the mouse and #itmap display, the desktop
metaphor and window management, display widgets like scroll$#ars, menus, and dialog #o%es&emerge
from this research and development work"
'here are ta#let computers that use stylus$#ased interaction on a screen, and even paper$#ased systems
that digitally capture markings made on speciali(ed paper using a camera em#edded in a pen"
edia and Information
In the early 19)0s, possi#ilities for media other than formatted te%t were !uite limited" In the 1990s, these
trends accelerated* 'he +orld +ide +e# made hyperte%t a standard information design, +e#$pages and
single$click e$mail attachments made sharing images as easy as sharing te%t, and surprisingly good speech
recognition #ecame availa#le on personal computers"

Introduction
Specification of Assessment
Human Computer Interaction Assignment Details CSE, Sharda University
-ike in making /'5 machine Human interactive " 'he developer should know what a user want in /'5
machine" 'hen he should make the user interface according to user re!uirements" It should #e large
enough reada#le to all" /nd the touch should #e responsive ,which gives desired result in desired time"
'he /'5 system should no get failed in transaction process" /s if it #ychance fails then there should #e
roll#ack process in it"
2. Descri"e at least three e3ample of 12I =pplication. @p-A
=nswer:
Eye Trac!ing"
.ye tracking has long #een used to analy(e user #ehavior and user interface usa#ility in a wide range of
human$computer interaction 6HCI7 research and practices and as an actual control medium in a human8
computer dialogue"
-ike google glasses which tracks the eye #all and performs what the user wants"
Display designs
9isplays are human$made artifacts designed to support the perception of relevant system varia#les and to
facilitate further processing of that information" e"g" navigating, controlling, decision making, learning,
entertaining, etc
Human#machine interface
Human#machine interface is the part of the machine that handles the human8machine interaction"
5em#rane switches, ru##er keypads and touchscreens are e%amples of that part of the Human 5achine
Interface which we can see and touch" 0owadays, we use the e%pression :raphical ser Interface for
human8machine interface on computers, as nearly all of them are now using graphics"
D. Identify the impact of 12I on the workplace. @p.A
=nswer: Computer technology opens new doors for researching, creating, and distri#uting e%periences"
Increased insight in this area could create a potential to change people;s attitudes and #ehaviors in ways
never #efore possi#le" 3or e%ample, in researching e%periences, our online system can now test stories to
identify which stories have an impact on specific types of people" 'here is also the use of 2luetooth, and
mo#ile communications that help with this " 'here is also the improvement on :<S systems that can also
#e programmed =ust through speech, making it very easy for people with disa#ilities to use"3rom a
distri#ution standpoint, +I0 e%periences could #e delivered through mo#ile handsets, increasing reach
#eyond the desktop" 'he potential for impact is significant" Computer$supported +I0 e%periences could
lead to large$scale interventions to improve health, enhance learning and training, #oost workplace
performance, and motivate participation in civic life"

/nswer* 'here are some issues that are important in human$computer$interaction and that we have to have
in mind when designing an interface of a learning environment*Is it as per the user re!uirement or not,how
well the interface is defined, is it easily learna#le, fle%i#ility and is it secure to use"

E. Eo to "a"yt#.com. Fustify the interface of the we" site for the children and parents. @*4A.
=nswer: 3irst of all the interface of #a#ytv"com is !uite impressive" It will impress the #oth parents and
children when they open it"
3or Children *
'he animation in this is eye catching a child will #e very happy #y seeing thi interface " 'he '? at the mid
and the #linking eye :iraffee"'he change in movement of :ames and songs #utton will #e a#le to
convince a child to use this we#site"'he main part is if a child open this we#site and use it once he will
easily learn at once and ne%t when he will open it he knows what is where"
3or parents *
'he interface of this we#site will make parents to #ookmark this we#site for their children" /s it didn;t got
any adds and other things which will distract there child in using this we#site" /ll things are shown

=nswer: 'he fist issue which came in HCI implementation is the practice" How many times the developer
developed such types of HCI, or how many times he tested it #efore it is shown to the client" 'he more he
practice on the interface the more he will #e involved in it "'hat1s why performance improves with
practice"
'he second is transfer ,which means transfer of knowledge from previous tasks" It is now possi#le to learn
from the previous interface and what are its #ugs is made to #e identified" /nd then these can #e improved
