Touch Interfaces 101

摘要

Increasingly, a broad range of entertainment electronics products use, or will use, an interactive touch interface as the main human machine interface (HMI). The touch interface provides a very user-friendly way to operate sometimes-complex consumer entertainment devices with a very small learning curve. For designers, implementing an interactive user interface (HMI, MMI, GUI-pick your favorite acronym) is a combination of using common sense and best technology. This approach is necessary to create a visual and physical interactive experience that meets all requisite goals with a technology that suits the device's intended use. With the rapid rise of HMI interface popularity, creating a design outline will help to quickly bring together the right parameters for the many new touch-based consumer devices.
