Abstract

In this chapter, I review how the fields of Human Computer Interaction (HCI) and Computer Science have come together over the last 60 years to create and support novel forms of interaction. We see how interaction models have progressively incorporated human skills and abilities, as well as the physical and social properties taken from the real world. I organize this evolution into three periods—pre-HCI, seminal HCI, ubiquitous HCI. Each of these periods is illustrated with key reference works that have influenced my own research as well as contributions of French researchers to the field.

Acknowledgements

I owe a debt of gratitude to the members of my research group IIHM at LIG as well as to the many doctoral students that shared with me the enthusiasm of bringing together Software Engineering and HCI. Worthy of special thanks are Laurence Nigay, Gaëlle Calvary, and François Bérard for their passion and early involvement in the group at a time HCI was not mainstream research. My deep gratitude to James L. Crowley for his expertise in Computer Vision as well as his continued encouragement and support.
