Summary

The chapter introduces human–computer Interaction (HCI) and HCI research and describes their current states. Challenges to HCI research are identified as the need to address the growth and diversification of HCI and of the associated research, while decreasing the fragmentation of fields and theories.The aims of the book are presented as support for researchers to build on and to validate each other’s work and so to increase consensus, leading to increased HCI discipline progress. The concepts of approach and framework are outlined, together with their relations. The chapter sets the scene for the following two chapters, which address respectively approaches and frameworks separately and in greater depth.
