    • human computer interaction Assignment

      1. Define Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) and explain its primary purpose.

      2. List and briefly describe the three main components involved in HCI.

      3. Explain the difference between usability and user experience (UX).

      4. What is the significance of user-centered design (UCD) in HCI?

      5. Define affordance and provide one example from a digital interface.

      Part B: Usability Principles

      1. State and explain five usability principles proposed by Jakob Nielsen.

      2. Describe the concept of mental models and explain why they matter in interface design.

      3. What is cognitive load? Provide an example of how interface designers can reduce it.

      Part C: Interaction Design & Prototyping

      1. Identify and describe three types of prototyping used in HCI.

      2. Explain the importance of consistency in interface design. Provide two examples.

      3. What is Fitts’s Law? Give an example of how it can be applied to interface layout decisions.

      Part D: Evaluation Methods

      1. Describe the difference between formative and summative evaluation.

      2. List and briefly explain three HCI evaluation techniques (e.g., heuristic evaluation, user testing, cognitive walkthrough).

      3. In what situations is heuristic evaluation more effective than user testing? Explain.

      Part E: Case Study / Practical Application

      1. Consider a mobile banking app. Identify at least three usability issues that might occur and suggest improvements for each.

      2. Sketch (or describe) a simple improved login screen for the app, applying at least three HCI principles.

      3. Describe how you would conduct a user test for this redesigned login screen. Include:

        • Number of users

        • Tasks

        • Metrics you would measure (e.g., time, errors, satisfaction)

      Part F

      1. In your opinion, what emerging technologies (e.g., VR, voice assistants, AI interfaces) will significantly impact the future of HCI? Explain why.

      2. Reflect on a digital product you use daily. Identify one aspect with good HCI design and one aspect with poor HCI design, explaining your reasoning.
