What Is a User Interface?

In simple terms, this is the interface between people and software or computers. A user interface should be designed in such a way that the user can operate it without any problems and no comprehension problems occur. The optimal user interface is therefore beautiful to look at, efficient and easy to use. 

Examples of user interfaces are: 

– A remote control for the television 
– Control elements on various devices 
– The user interface of a software 

There are different types of user interfaces: 

Command Line Interface 
The CLI is the command line or the command line of a user interface on the computer. The command line takes input from the user via a text line. 

Graphical User Interface 
The GUI is the graphical user interface of a software. It is usually operated with a mouse and keyboard, on mobile devices also via a touchscreen. 

Tangible User Interface 
In TUI, the user interacts with a physical input or output medium. 

Text User interface 
With the Text User Interface, which is also abbreviated TUI, the user interface consists of pure text. In contrast to the Command Line Interface, the Text User Interface uses a screen or a screen window completely. 

Voice User Interface 
Das VUI ist eine sprachgesteuerte Benutzeroberfläche. Diese ermöglichen sowohl Spracheingaben, als auch Sprachausgaben. Gängige Beispiele für diese Art Interface sind die Sprachassistenten von Google, Amazon und Apple.

What Is the Difference Between UI and UX?

UI design focuses mainly on the interaction between humans and machines. This includes both the usability of a website, but also the interface of an app or mobile application. UI designers focus exclusively on this named interface. Less relevant is the user’s experience and the flow between interfaces. 

UX and UI designers work closely together to measure and improve user experience and usability. In the process, they constantly test new designs to correct errors. 

UI designers have knowledge of front-end development and graphic design. Visual aspects in particular are important, while UX designers are more focused on user experience. 

The focus in UI design is on visual touchpoints that allow the user to interact. They create combinations of fonts, color palettes, buttons, animations, and images. UX design encompasses the entire user experience from first contact to last. They create structural design solutions that the user has throughout the journey with the product. 

UX design aims to delight with efficiency, while UI design aims to delight with design.
