Man-computer interaction
Man-computer interaction is the act of using a computer, using input devices and output devices.
Man-computer interaction is all about the connection between one man and one computer terminal, be it a laptop, smartphone, or all-in-one VR headset, whether or not it is connected to a computer network such as the internet.
Neuralink aims to replace all human-computer interaction devices with a brain-computer interface (BCI) that is wired into the user's head. However, this is unacceptable for many prospective users. It is preferable to have advanced computer interaction using XR devices instead.
History[edit]
Computer interaction in the past focused on programming computers using series of plugs with the ENIAC.
Experiments in computer interaction were done in the 1960s, including the first video games, the Lincoln Wand, Ivan Sutherland's work, and Doug Engelbart's work.
The paradigm of one person to one screen was strengthened by Doug Engelbart in the 1950s and 1960s.
The mouse and keyboard paradigm was popularized by the Macintosh in the 1980s.
Virtual reality and touch screen devices started becoming prevalent in the 1990s and going into the 2000s.
