Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) examines how computer interfaces can best support human abilities, using controlled experiments to reach definitive conclusions. HCI concepts, principles and research conclusions help us develop usable, useful, and universal interfaces and can be applied to specific design problems when developing a web site or web based application. Our analyses user interfaces help us derive deeper, more conceptual and penetrating insights than simply saying “this works” or “this doesn’t work.”

When designing hardware or software, Human Computer Interaction or HCI must be considered during the planning stage and throughout the project. Too often, HCI is considered only at the end-stages of product design. This results in either costly changes or reluctance to change the design. In many cases, good technology is not readily accepted because the product is not easy to use or efficient to use. A product's usability, acceptance, and marketability are often dependent on the user feeling that it is easy to learn and use. Optimized Human Computer Interaction increases the learning speed, efficiency, and comfort level with a product, which translates into product acceptance and use. You need both good technology and usability for a successful product launch.
