About Human-Machine Interaction and Conversational Interfaces
Human-Machine Interaction research encompasses multidisciplinary approaches to the design of computer-based systems focusing on the interaction between the users and their machines through voice, touch, device or conversational interfaces that facilitate the interaction in an intuitive way.
