Week 1: Mon, Jan 6
In today’s lecture we’ll be going over course logistics, as well as a brief introduction to the field of HCI . If you have time, please take a brief glance at some of the historical milestones of HCI (in the optional reading section below), and note that most of the computing interface technologies that we take for granted have only been around for a few decades.
Also note that the “Knowledge Navigator” was revolutionary in 1987.
