HCI interacts with a variety of fields

Bad HCI can cause large losses of profit

subjects with diminished autonomy deserve greater protections.

ethnography

HCI involves stakeholders

personas and scenarios

stories about fictitious people using your interfaces. Lowest barrier to entry form of UI design

perception
- A subset of HCI
next wave of HCI
- At CSCW 2019, I had the opportunity to have a wonderful talk with Dr. Reinecke from the University of Washington about this very topic. The question I asked was about the “future proofing” of HCI. Many of the papers I was reading were very specifically in regards to technology that existed at the time. For example, the paper Dr. Reinecke was presenting was about the accessibility of Uber in indigenous areas. Uber has only been around for 11 years, and within those years it has changed wildly both in its internal structure and its scope. To me, it felt like it was entirely feasible that Dr. Reinecke’s entire work could be made useless if more drivers suddenly signed up in indigenous areas. Uber is currently working on self driving cars (https://www.uber.com/us/en/atg/technology/). It’s similarly feasible that success in this initiative would mean that Uber cars are accessible everywhere, since the barrier of entry to installing a self driving car wouldn’t be that much, and they could easily be installed in primarily indigenous areas.
