Human-computer interaction

Computers and artificial agents become more and more sophisticated every year and more frequently involved in human’s everyday life. This increases the need to interact with them in a more natural way, similar to the way we interact with each other. Museum tour-guide robots (Nourbrakhsh, 1999) and robots that interact with the elderly (Montemerlo, 2002) demonstrate that we do not need robots just to interact with people, but also that there is a need for the interactions to be smooth and natural. Over the past few decades Emotion-sensitive Human-Computer Interaction has become a hot topic in many scientific papers on affective computing, a popular and innovative AI research area mainly in artificial intelligence which main goal is to develop…

According to Booth (2014), “An oversimplificed definition of HCI (human-computer interaction) might say that it is the study of interraction between humans and computers.” He further explains that though this definition is acceptable as a general definition, it does not explain the true complexities of…

Technology and Social Isolation Over the past decade, has technology isolated us from the outside world? Well, technology rules our society, without it, we would be lost. Technology, for example, computers, cell phones, TVs, etc., have not been around for very long and we already rely so heavily on all of them to get us through the day. Presently, we utilize technology without batting an eye on what it is perhaps doing to us. The reason for the ordinary utilization of technology is that we…

variables so they will be easier to interpret. Pair Type will be coded as 0 Acquaintances and 1 Friends and then the interactions will be computed. To create the 2-way interactions (Empathy X Social Self-Efficacy, Empathy X Pair Type, Social Self-Efficacy X Pair Type), each predictor variable will be multiplied with each of the other predictor variables. Additionally, Empathy, Social Self-Efficacy, and Pair Type will be multiplied together to create a 3-way interaction (Empathy X Social…

Describe each scenario. What is happening? Where is this taking place? Who is the interaction between? The first scenario involves a romantic couple, they always come to class together and sit next to each other.

is your personal opinion but through the work “What is it about the 20- somethings” by Robin Henig and “The Limits of Friendship” by Maria Konnikova people can see that technology does three major things: hurts face to face interaction, Creates a lack in human interaction, and hinders the social development of kids. Technology is interesting that way, as it seems to help us but can actually stop our own development. That’s why technology is truly a hinderance of social development in the modern…

Tassel (2001) claims that, “Interactivity is a fascinating topic that reaches into human beings’ deepest desires for personal connection and communication.” Interactivity is a function that is used in digital Television. Interactive Television offers new ways to improve programme content with on-screen complementary information and other features such as choice of camera angles as well as on-screen viewer polling which is accessed through the Television’s remote control (Beattie 2004).
