Abstract. The information society is expected to use information technologies extensively. This expectation often results to pressure on the software industry to develop rapidly, software systems to provide e-services to the society. Unfortunately, many unusable systems are developed and deployed to the society in the process. In Estonia, more than 90 % of the inhabitants use IT for various activities, and most government and business services are delivered through the Internet. Further, the field of human-computer interaction (HCI) is still very young, and Tallinn University, remains the only institution in the Baltic zone, running a programme (masters) in HCI. This study presents the preliminary results of a recently conducted online survey on the extent of uptake of HCI practices. The outcomes of the study show that awareness and knowledge of HCI are still very low in the Estonian software industry.

“…Decision makers, such as managers and organizational scientists or HF experts with organizational design knowledge, can be included to re-design work tasks, work environment, scheduling design, balance resources, facilitate communication, training and user participation (Vicente, 2003 ; Wickens et al, 2004 ). This consideration is important because “a lack of consideration for organizational culture and standard practice is another problem of transferring HCI values, and practices to [software engineering] processes” (Ogunyemi and Lamas, 2014 , p. 4). This would require adjustment in organizational strategies on both developer and customer sides (Rauch and Wilson, 1995 ; Venturi et al, 2006 ).…”

“…Traditionally, there has been more focus on the technical aspect than the human aspect of design, but this trend is changing (Sætren et al, 2016 ). With the rapid development of the technology in the past 30 years, more attention has been paid to curricula and protocols of HF and the importance of users in interacting with computer systems (Ogunyemi and Lamas, 2014 ). Many tools developed based on research have been used in designing interactive interfaces between humans and technology (Stolterman, 2008 ) but further improvements can be made if the research becomes even more grounded in better understanding of the design and development practices to support the developers and users (Stolterman, 2008 ).…”

Application of Human Factors in the Development Process of Immersive Visual Technologies: Challenges and Future Improvements

This study investigates how Human Factors (HF) is applied when designing and developing Immersive Visual Technologies (IVT), including Augmented Reality, Mixed Reality, and Virtual Reality. We interviewed fourteen people working at different organizations, that develop IVT applications in the Nordic region. We used thematic analysis to derive themes from the interviews. The results showed an insufficient knowledge and application of HF in IVT development, due to the lack of awareness of both scope and significance of HF, resource allocation strategy, market inertia, stakeholder's involvement, standardization of HF application and IVT uses, and technology maturity. This situation could be improved by allocating experts, adjusting organizational strategy to balance resource allocation, training developers and user organizations to raise awareness and to encourage co-creative design and knowledge sharing, create a sense of ownership amongst stakeholders, and ensure the usefulness of the technology to the user's work.

“…129 That is not surprising, because papers on the topic also remark communication problems between the fields of SE and HCI: the techniques, methods, processes, and professional vocabulary being used are often unfamiliar to each other, which can easily lead to misunderstandings. 130 For example, it is generally true that students in IT courses do not learn the basics of HCI, and many HCI courses do not contain the fundamentals of software development. Although most SE literature admits the importance of user involvement, even recent editions of standard books on software engineering do not necessarily describe the different UX research methods or other human-centered solutions (e.g., DT models and Dual-Track Agile).…”

Integrating user‐centered approaches into development processes is one of the main challenges nowadays that derives from different objectives of software engineering (SE) and human‐computer interaction (HCI) fields. For SE experts, the main goal is quality code creation, whereas for HCI professionals, it is the continuous product interaction with the users. The major question is what tools and timings can be used together to achieve these goals effectively. Therefore, this article provides comparative, exploratory, and qualitative research about possible solutions on how practitioners transfer HCI values and practices to SE processes. The current practice of software companies was studied by conducting interviews on a sample of 13 Hungarian Information Technology companies to explore the SE processes in respect of several dimensions (applied development models, the integrity of user‐centered methods, and the user experience [UX] maturity). According to preliminary expectations, the development processes of the various companies proceed in different steps; nevertheless, they can be well grouped together based on the UX methods applied. The results representing the various user‐centered processes can be considered useful for future decision makers of software companies worldwide.
