Human Computer Interaction (HCI) is a branch of Informatics that includes the study of human-centered design, development and implementation of usable and socially acceptable information technologies. Research into the design of usable technology draws extensively on mainstream informatics concerns with cognition, communication, user interface design and computing. HCI professionals seek to identify the nature and parameters of human information processing at the interface, to design forms of representation that support human interpretation and use, and to reliably and validly test new technologies for usability and acceptability.
With a medical degree from Harvard under his belt, Dr. Jon Duke found the IU School of Informatics at IUPUI his best choice for a Master's degree in Human-Computer Interaction.
