Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) has emerged as a critical interdisciplinary field focused on improving the interaction between users and computing systems. By integrating concepts from computer science, cognitive psychology, and design, HCI aims to develop intuitive, efficient, and user-centered technologies. This paper presents a concise review of HCI, covering its evolution, core principles, and contemporary research directions. Through a structured literature-based approach, the study synthesizes findings from recent academic works to highlight the importance of usability, accessibility, and user experience in system design. Furthermore, the review emphasizes the growing role of intelligent and adaptive interfaces in modern computing environments. The results demonstrate that effective HCI design significantly enhances user satisfaction, reduces cognitive load, and improves overall system performance. This paper contributes to a clearer understanding of HCI’s role in bridging the gap between humans and increasingly complex technological systems, while also identifying future directions for research and development.
