A field of computing concerned with how people perceive, use and are affected by computing systems, designed around human presence, perception and collaboration rather than around a machine's own internal structure. Belongs here: Human Computer Interaction itself, and Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality, both concerned with what a person perceives and does through a computing system. Does not belong here: a field about the algorithm behind a perceptual system rather than the human experience of it, such as Computer Vision, filed under Computing Methodologies instead.
