Exploring User-Centered Design and Usability Principles in HCI: Report

This report delves into the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), focusing on the crucial roles of User-Centered Design (USD) and usability principles in developing effective computer interfaces. Through a comprehensive literature review, the report examines the perspectives of various researchers on USD, which emphasizes designing products and services with the user in mind, and usability principles, which guide developers in creating efficient and user-friendly systems. The report highlights the importance of USD in creating user-friendly interfaces and the various factors of usability principles, including efficiency, ease of use, and error prevention. It also discusses the four phases involved in USD and emphasizes the importance of user testing. The conclusion summarizes the benefits of integrating both USD and usability principles in the design process, leading to improved user satisfaction and reduced system errors. The report references several key studies and concludes that both USD and usability principles are essential for creating successful HCI systems.
