Abstract

This paper presents an overview of Human-Human Interaction field that would be dedicated to tackling problems that occur while interacting with other people. There are many domains, in which researchers conduct studies regarding interaction between people and electronic devices. However, while doing such research, the problems of human-human interaction tend to be neglected. This type of interaction has only been studied in fields connected to psychology/sociology (human behaviour) and medicine (epidemiology). This article proposes a model of interaction between people based on well-known Human-Computer Interaction models and presents some issues that might occur during the process of communication between people. Furthermore, it presents some possible solutions to improve this interaction effectiveness, by applying various devices and interfaces.
