Human Computer Interface. Applied to any interface used by a human and controlled by a computer. HCI technology for mobiles has advanced enormously in recent years with predictive text input for messaging and graphical interfaces for functions like WAP, IMode, IAppli and MMS. The more subjective area of HCI design `look and feel` has also advanced. Nokia has become market dominant partly through widespread liking for its HCI design.. HCI is now the standard term replacing the older, gender-specific, MMI (Man-Machine Interface).
