Information on HMI

The HMI is an important human factors focus for designers who have to understand the allocation of functions to the machine and to the human operator as well as be able to define the interface between the two sets of functions. There are few systems that do not have humans as a significant subsystem, so the human-machine interface is critical in most projects.
