Abstract: Human–computer interaction (HCI) is a discipline concerned with the design, evaluation, and implementation of interactive computing systems for human use. The field formally emerged out of computer science, cognitive psychology, and industrial design through the 1960s, formulating guidelines for the development of interactive computer systems, highlighting usability concerns, and providing the impetus for improved interfaces. Computing devices are becoming more prevalent and integrated into both our social and work spaces, and in some cases, they are already essential elements of these environments. HCI therefore plays an increasingly important role in ensuring that computer systems are not only functional but also respect the needs and capabilities of the humans that use them.

Visual Analytics: Definition, Process, and Challenges
Daniel A. Keim,Gennady Andrienko,Jean-Daniel Fekete,Carsten Görg,Jörn Kohlhammer,Guy Melançon +5 more
TL;DR: The possibilities to collect and store data increase at a faster rate than the ability to use it for making decisions, and in most applications, raw data has no value in itself; instead the authors want to extract the information contained in it.
Toward a Deeper Understanding of the Role of Interaction in Information Visualization
TL;DR: Seven general categories of interaction techniques widely used in Infovis are proposed, organized around a user's intent while interacting with a system rather than the low-level interaction techniques provided by a system.

The impact of virtual, augmented and mixed reality technologies on the customer experience
TL;DR: A new taxonomy of technologies is proposed, namely the “EPI Cube”, which allows academics and managers to classify all technologies, current and potential, which might support or empower customer experiences, but can also produce new experiences along the customer journey.
