It skillfully synthesizes profound insights gleaned from seminal works, including Norman's cognitive model and Fitts' law, as well as delving into socio-technical theories such as Activity Theory and Distributed Cognition. These collective theories illuminate the intricate tapestry of human cognition, motor control, and the dynamic interactions between individuals, technology, and their environment. Furthermore, this paper rigorously analyzes the frontiers of HCI through emerging paradigms like natural user interfaces and affective computing, underlining the paramount importance of user-centered design principles in fostering empathy, inclusivity, and accessibility. By comprehensively exploring and elucidating the theoretical foundations of HCI, this work aspires to invigorate innovative, user-centric design approaches, thus enriching the future of human-computer interactions and enhancing the overall user experience within the digital realm. © 2023 IEEE. publisher: Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. date: 2023 type: Conference or Workshop Item type: PeerReviewed identifier: Usmani, U.A. and Usmani, M.U.
