The hcidata Package

The goal of hcidata is to provide a collection of datasets from the field of human-computer interaction (HCI). Each dataset is from an HCI paper, with all fields described and the original publication linked. All paper authors of included data have consented to the inclusion of their data in this package. The datasets include data from a range of HCI studies, such as pointing tasks, user experience ratings, and steering tasks.

Installation

You can install the development version of hcidata from GitHub with:

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("henningpohl/hcidata")

Usage

To use a dataset from this package, first add it to your R project:

library(hcidata)

You can also inspect the available datasets via:

data(package="hcidata")
