With rapid technological advancements, the field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) has shifted from traditional interface mechanisms, such as keyboards, mice, and touchscreens, to more natural, multimodal, and intelligent interaction systems. Emerging interaction technologies, such as Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs), gesture tracking, voice interaction, eye-tracking, and haptic feedback systems, are transforming how humans interact with digital systems. While these technologies are being applied across diverse fields like neurorehabilitation, immersive education, smart manufacturing, and extended reality, challenges such as accuracy, robustness, and adaptability remain. Furthermore, issues related to data privacy and ethics are barriers to the widespread deployment of these technologies. This paper reviews the development of these technologies, explores their application trends within HCI, discusses their strengths and limitations, and addresses the challenges and future directions, with a particular focus on the convergence of AI, neuroscience, and multimodal interaction systems.
