We plead for a serious consideration in HCI of Shannon’s information theory as a tool for the evaluation of all sorts of input techniques. We start with a primer on Shannon’s basic quantities and the theoretical entities of his communication model.
Information Theory (Shannon, 1948; Shannon & Weaver, 1949), psychologists immediately recognized that Information Theory might have significant rele-vance to psychology (Miller & Frick, 1949) and many began applying it to ex-plain a variety of psychological problems (Attneave, 1959). This period in the

Models and Theories in Human-Computer Interaction
Jan 1, 2024 · Being that the nature of the field of Human Computer Interaction is that it is interdisciplinary, theories and models proceed and are adapted from many other disciplines. There are but a few of which we could call "genuinely native" HCI theories and models.
Information Theoretic Models of HCI: A Comparison of the Hick …
Dec 9, 2009 · The Hick-Hyman Law and Fitts' Law are two surviving human performance principles based on Shannon and Weaver's (1949) Information Theory. In the early 1980s, Card, Moran, and Newell (1983) presented the laws as design principles for developers to maximize usability in the design of human-computer interfaces.
What do we know about human capabilities that could or should constrain interface design?

Jun 4, 2019 · The Shannon-Weaver Model carries an immediate advantage over classic HCI models: the use of non-restrictive concepts, evading the automatic attribution of a sender and a receiver role to, respectively, the Human Agent (HA) and the Computer Agent (CA).
