When new product ideas arise, figuring out how everything will be manufactured and assembled can be a daunting undertaking. In the midst of this process comes a point where someone is appointed the task of figuring out how to incorporate a control interface into its product or device. At this stage, it can be crucial for the involved industry professionals, designers and/or engineers to have a better understanding of the technologies available and what design aspects will drive their decision-making process. In this article we will do a deep dive into custom Human Machine Interfaces(HMIs), including what they are, key elements of their design process, as well as their various components, options, and considerations.
There’s something truly addictive about tactile responses that captivates the human mind, and when it comes to technology, there’s no exception. When human beings interact with electronics, such as the press of a button, and that switch closure talks back, the interaction makes users feel in control. Not only that, but the response can be fairly satisfying, making it a desirable feature. Switches that utilize this potential are known as Tactile Switches. Knowing how to use these tactile switches properly while designing an interface, gives engineers the power to achieve better interface usability, aesthetics, and overall product quality. There’s a reason why tactile switches are often found in gaming devices, keyboards, and other forms of technology requiring quick, repetitive responses that are also pleasant to use for long duration’s of time. In order to utilize tactile feedback as an advantage, we have to ask the question: what makes this sensation possible? To start with, it is important to first comprehend what a tactile switch actually is.
