“HCI in the large is an interdisciplinary area. It is emerging as a specialty concern within several disciplines, each with different emphases: computer science (application design and engineering of human interfaces), psychology (the application of theories of cognitive processes and the empirical analysis of user behavior), sociology and anthropology (interactions between technology, work, and organization), and industrial design (interactive products).”
From “Definition of HCI” from Chapter 2 of ACM SIGCHI Curricula for Human-Computer Interaction, available online at http://sigchi.org/cdg/cdg2.html.
