The sense of agency is the experience of controlling both oneââ?¬â?¢s body and the external\nenvironment. Although the sense of agency has been studied extensively, there is a\npaucity of studies in applied ââ?¬Å?real-lifeââ?¬Â situations. One applied domain that seems highly\nrelevant is human-computer-interaction (HCI), as an increasing number of our everyday\nagentive interactions involve technology. Indeed, HCI has long recognized the feeling of\ncontrol as a key factor in how people experience interactions with technology. The aim of\nthis review is to summarize and examine the possible links between sense of agency and\nunderstanding control in HCI. We explore the overlap between HCI and sense of agency\nfor computer input modalities and system feedback, computer assistance, and joint actions\nbetween humans and computers. An overarching consideration is how agency research\ncan inform HCI and vice versa. Finally, we discuss the potential ethical implications of\npersonal responsibility in an ever-increasing society of technology users and intelligent\nmachine interfaces.
