A fascinating aspect of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) for me

A fascinating aspect of  Human Computer Interaction (HCI) for me is the fact that Human Computer Interaction, as a field of research, is situated at the intersection of
  • Computer Science
  • Behavioral Science like Psychology, Anthropology, Sociology, Cognitive science etc. 
  • Design
  • Media studies and so many other field and industries

The first time I study about Human Computer Interaction I thought that HCI field has to do only about Computers, but in the pass of time I realize how many other fields and industries can be related with HCI. 

The following diagram shows how those different fields can be related with HCI

  1. Thank you for the infographic! If you had to draw a big circle around it and use ONLY 1 word to encompass ALL those fields that your graphic shows, what would that word be???

    1. A good idea the big circle around is the actual users so the name of the big circle with my opinion is user.

    2. I think the word "interactive sciences" can be used to surround the big circle!

    4. I think the word "world" can be used to surround the big circle!

    5. @xara: That's a good one actually!

  2. @Anna: I disagree with 'World' because it does not refer to a discipline of field of study.

  3. I didn't think about this before and it's an interesting point of view. In my opinion the 1 word that can encompass all those fields is the interaction
