Human Machine Interaction/Interface (HMI) incorporates the interaction between humans and different types of machines and system components in order to reach a common goal. Human Factors work is necessary to ensure intended effects of the functions are reached by taking both technology and human’s intent and actions into account as well as technical and human limitations.
