Anthropologically oriented strategies of interaction in the Human-Computer system

Abstract

The article, based on the application of anthropological methodology, reveals the phenomenology of the physical-mental interaction between a person and a computer. Ways of integrative use of the concept of Umwelt by J. J. von Uexküll and the theory of movements construction are represented, and Umwelt-oriented strategies for improving computer technologies are presented. The Umwelt, as the world of perception and the world of human activity (in particular, cognitive), can be represented as an anthropo-computer world. On the basis of the current features of the body-mental Umwelt, ways of anthropologically directed improvement of HCI are determined. Using the questionnaire developed by the authors and applying cluster analysis, a survey of students of higher education institutions was conducted in order to determine the physical and mental orientation in Umwelt oriented interaction in the human-computer system. The interpretation of the research results indirectly indicates the systematicity, equality of interaction in the human-computer system. This determines the possibility of distinguishing typical ways of interaction in the human-computer system, among which the bodily and mental-psychological ones are significant, which correspond to certain levels that characterize the systemic, spatio-temporal and structural-functional organization of motor activity in the theory of movements construction.

XV International Conference on Mathematics, Science and Technology Education

“…The talk delved into the importance of preparing students for the complexities of parallel processing and distributed systems, which are critical in modern computing environments. • Anthropologically Oriented Strategies of Interaction in the Human-Computer System [75] explored innovative strategies of interaction between humans and computers. The talk emphasized the significance of user-centered design and human-computer interaction in creating seamless and intuitive interfaces that cater to users' needs and behaviors.…”
