Overview
User Interaction Methods are the ways people communicate and control computer systems and digital devices.
These methods allow users to give instructions, enter data, and receive feedback from devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and desktop computers. Different methods suit different needs and situations.
Gesture control uses body or hand movements to operate devices without touching them.
Keyboards are used to type text and commands quickly and accurately.
Mouse devices let users move pointers and select items on a screen with precision.
Touch screens make it easy to tap, swipe, and zoom directly on the display.
Voice commands allow users to speak to control systems or search for information.
Understanding these methods is important for choosing the right one for different tasks, improving accessibility, and creating user-friendly systems that work for everyone, regardless of ability or preference.
