How Engineers are Designing Human Machine Interfaces

We surveyed nearly two hundred engineers, managers, educators and specialists who work with HMIs to understand how organizations are developing HMIs, the importance of HMIs to the product development process, and what tools are used to design and test HMIs.

Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) play an important role in connecting people with the machines they use. An HMI can be as simple as a single button or as complex as an immersive virtual control room. As end users look for increasingly intuitive products, HMI designs must evolve to be ever more human-centric.

We surveyed nearly two hundred engineers, managers, educators and specialists who work with HMIs to understand how organizations are developing HMIs, the importance of HMIs to the product development process, and what tools are used to design and test HMIs.

In this report, you will learn:

  • Popular tools for HMI development
  • How connected and customizable are HMIs
  • What users want in HMI development software, such as the use of AR/VR
  • And much more
