User Interface (UI)

What is a User Interface (UI)?

Within virtually any technological capacity, a user interface—or simply a “UI”—is how human counterparts interact and communicate with a device. Common familiar components of a UI include things like keyboards, screens, mouses, remote controls, and many other tools that allow users to interact with their devices. Since the UI is the major point of interactive access for human users, there is a strong emphasis on designing interfaces that are as streamlined and intuitive as possible from an operational standpoint, while remaining as pleasant to look at and navigate with from an aesthetic perspective.
