Mouser has released the latest instalment of its Empowering Innovation Together (EIT) technology series, examining the unique attributes of HMI for everyday devices and industrial applications. With the evolution of HMI, engineers are integrating intuitive, user-centric designs with cutting-edge technologies to produce a host of novel capabilities. In this series, the company takes a deeper look at the future technological and societal impact of HMIs across our devices, cars, houses, and each other.
Engineers are using the principles of natural human behaviours, capabilities, and cognitive processing to design interfaces that anticipate user needs and preferences. This series delves into HMI immersive integration, advanced accessibility features, and support of automotive designs in fulfilling global expectations. In the new episodes of 'The Tech Between Us' podcast, host Raymond Yin, Mouser director of technical content, sits down with senior research director for Emergo UL, Allison Strochlic, to dive into defining human factors, strategies for user-centered design and design variations across industries. HMI design expert Nicole Johnson, a longtime design leader at Rivian, is also featured. Johnson examines the evolution of HMIs and how Industry 4.0 and IoT integration influence design considerations.
"The explosion of machine learning and artificial intelligence has transformed HMIs, making them more personalised and intuitive," said Yin. "Voice and gesture control eliminates the need for traditional buttons and dials, making complex technologies more widely accessible to people of all ages and abilities."
This instalment supplies additional resources for design engineers, including technical articles, an infographic, a video, and more. It spotlights immersive technology that is improved with HMI. By developing customisable interface capabilities, the gaming, entertainment, and automotive industries can create a seamless relationship between humans and machines, for example.
