Human Machine Interface (HMI)

Items in the Industrial Human Machine Interface category include operator panels, touchscreens, keyboards, mice, and gamepads that allow direct, physical input of data from the operator, along with various accessories. Other terms for human-machine interfaces are man-machine interface (MMI) and, when the machine in question is a computer, human-computer interface. Additional UI layers may interact with one or more human senses including: tactile UI (touch), visual UI (sight), auditory UI (sound), olfactory UI (smell), equilibrial UI (balance), and gustatory UI (taste).
