Human-computer interaction (HCI) is the study of how people interact with computers and other digital devices. It's a multidisciplinary field that draws on psychology, sociology, computer science, and design. HCI researchers and practitioners are interested in understanding how people use computers to complete tasks, communicate, and learn. They also design and evaluate new ways to interact with computers that are more user-friendly, efficient, and enjoyable.
