Alan Turing
Conceptualized the principles of computation and Turing machines, which are foundational for understanding human-computer interaction.
Douglas Engelbart
Invented the computer mouse and developed early hypertext systems, contributing significantly to the field of interactive computing.
Don Norman
Coined the term 'user experience' and has been influential in emphasizing the importance of user-centered design in HCI.
Jakob Nielsen
Established the field of web usability and has contributed guidelines and heuristics for user interface design.
Stuart K. Card
Developed the GOMS model (Goals, Operators, Methods, and Selection rules) for human-computer interaction.
Ben Shneiderman
Developed the 'Eight Golden Rules of Interface Design' and is known for his work on information visualization.
Ivan Sutherland
Created Sketchpad, a pioneering computer graphics program and conceptualized a framework for 3D computer graphics.
Jef Raskin
Started the Macintosh project at Apple and contributed to the concept of an easy-to-use user interface.
Bill Buxton
Has contributed extensively to the area of multi-touch interfaces and input technology for computing devices.
Lucy Suchman
Her work on 'Plans and Situated Actions' has influenced the design of interactive systems and the study of human-machine communication.
Terry Winograd
Known for his work on natural language understanding in computers and the SHRDLU program.
Saul Greenberg
Pioneered in the development of toolkits for human-computer interaction and computer-supported cooperative work.
George Furnas
Known for his work on information retrieval, introducing the concept of Generalized Fisheye Views.
Mark Weiser
Regarded as the father of ubiquitous computing, conceived the idea of computers seamlessly integrated into everyday life.
Scott Fahlman
Known for his early contributions to artificial intelligence and credited with the invention of the emoticon.
Hiroshi Ishii
His work in the Tangible Media Group at MIT has led to pioneering contributions in tangible user interfaces.
John McCarthy
One of the founders of the field of artificial intelligence, his work has implications for human-computer interaction through intelligent agents.
Alan Kay
Formulated the concept of the Dynabook, leading to the development of laptop computers and the concept of object-oriented programming, which contributes to HCI through software design.
Whitfield Diffie and Martin Hellman
Their work on public-key cryptography has allowed for secure communication, essential in the realm of human-computer interaction and internet security.
Elizabeth (B.J.) Fogg
Founded the concept of Captology, studying the overlap between persuasive technology and computers, which impacts HCI through design that changes user behavior.
