Abstract
The Interaction Era is evolving and extending to the Human-Computer Integration Era, in which the relationship between humans and technologies is characterized as a partnership. Motivated by this evolution, we conducted a Systematic Literature Review to present the current state of knowledge about the emerging paradigm of Human-Computer Integration (HInt), as well as its opportunities and challenges for the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) area. As a result, we organize the existing knowledge and research on HInt which describes it as a new interaction paradigm. Our findings indicate that HInt is a topic of growing interest in the HCI Community, and provide an overview of existing initiatives and key research gaps on HInt within the HCI scope. As contributions, our results are useful to (1) expand the HCI community’s knowledge regarding this emerging paradigm and (2) stimulate new initiatives and contributions to the consolidation and evolution of the HCI with a lens on HInt.

Notes
1 An initial analysis of the results regarding the definition of HInt and its challenges was published in Portuguese, in the Proceedings of the XX Brazilian Symposium on Human Factors in Computing Systems (IHC 2021) in the Emerging Results track (Barbosa et al., Citation2021)
2 It is worth noting that J. Andres was one out of three recipients for Outstanding Dissertation Award at CHI 2021 (Awards, Citation2021) in regard to his PhD thesis on a topic within the HInt paradigm, entitled “Integrated Exertion – Understanding the Design of Human-Computer Integration in an Exertion Context.” This thesis was supervised by Florian ‘Floyd’ Mueller (Andres, Citation2021)
3 This quality attribute (i.e., Accountability) was mentioned in a paper with a FGR focus (Dengel et al., Citation2021), so it was not mentioned during the FGQA papers.
