Human-computer interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary field focusing on the design of computer technology and interfaces and the interactions between humans (i.e., the users) and computers. The study of HCI broadly overlaps fields like user-centered design (UCD), user interface (UI) design and user experience (UX) design.
