APPLICATION-AGNOSTIC INTERACTIVE DATA: MANAGING HCI COMPLEXITY AT THE SOURCE

Abstract

In the domain of Human Computer Interaction (HCI), the communication between humans and software is an ongoing challenge. On the one hand, humans have growing needs and expectations. On the other hand, software has more advanced features and functionalities. This dual complexity growth results in difficulty in interaction. User interface is the battleground where sophisticated cognitive demands need to be resolved between the user and the software for effective communication. When interaction involves big data retrieval, communication often takes the form of software displaying data, and users comprehending their meaning, then requesting more date, or requesting some processing to be applied on
