Preferred term

human-machine interface  

Definition

  • Few aspects of modern life have gone unaffected by machines and computers, devices that amplify our ability to perform useful tasks. Whether mechanical or mental aids, these devices are only as useful as our ability to operate them, which can often be directly attributed to the efficacy of the human-machine interface, the means by which users and the system communicate with each other.
