Human Machine Interface

This resource, presented by the Maricopa Advanced Technology Education Center (MATEC), is an animation that serves as an introduction to Human Machine Interfaces. According to the animation, a Human Machine Interface is "a way for an operator to access a machine." Types of Human Machine Interfaces include Batch Interfaces, Operator Interface Consoles, Graphical User Interfaces, Gesture Interfaces, and more. Modern examples of Human Machine Interface technology include products like Google Glass, emergency switches, voice-command computer assistants, and, perhaps most commonly, search boxes found on the Internet. An .mp4 that runs 01:00 minute in length is also included.
