human-machine-interfaces (HMI)

Digitalization is changing manufacturing substantially. The design of user interfaces in the digitalized production environment is of utmost importance. In this article, potential combinations of approaches to human-machine interaction are shown and examples of applications are presented. Multimodal user interfaces offer a high degree of immersion. As a result, approaches of (among others) VR-, gesture- and speech-based types of interaction are compared with the dialogue principles and their suitability in practice as work and learning support for employees is presented.
