HCD follows a series of well defined methods for analysis, design, and evaluation of hardware, software, and web interfaces. The HCD process is iterative, generally predictable, and repeatable. Research, design, and evaluation steps are built in from the first stage of each project, and they continue throughout to implementation.
Learn about the steps and methods used at each phase of the Human-Centered Design process.
