        abstract = {This review paper explores the evolving landscape of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), examining its historical development, current trends, and future prospects. HCI plays a crucial role in shaping the way individuals interact with technology, and this paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the field, highlighting key advancements, challenges, and emerging paradigms. By analysing the evolution of HCI, we identify important milestones, discuss contemporary research, and delve into the potential directions for future exploration. This comprehensive review paper explores the intricate and dynamic realm of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) by delving into its historical roots, current state, challenges, and promising future directions. HCI, a multidisciplinary field at the intersection of computer science, design, and psychology, has witnessed transformative shifts in response to technological advancements and evolving user needs. Tracing the trajectory from early computing interfaces to contemporary touch-based and gesture-driven systems, this paper elucidates key milestones, methodologies, and influential figures that have shaped HCI. In examining the current state of HCI, the review explores cutting-edge technologies, such as augmented and virtual reality, natural language processing, and the integration of artificial intelligence. The interplay between technology and user experience is scrutinized, providing insights into how these advancements are reshaping our interaction with digital interfaces across diverse platforms and devices. However, HCI is not without its challenges. This review sheds light on issues of accessibility, inclusivity, privacy, and ethical considerations that demand careful consideration in the design and implementation of interactive systems. The recognition of these challenges underscores the imperative for HCI practitioners to adopt responsible and user-centric approaches, ensuring that technology serves a broad spectrum of users while respecting their rights and preferences.},
