What are some examples of user interfaces?

User Interface Examples

Common user interface examples are GUIs, tactical interfaces and voice interfaces. A GUI, or Graphical User Interface, is the type of interface most people think of when they think of a user interface.

GUIs can include things like an operating system on a computer, applications on a computer or the screen on a cellphone. A tactile user interface is less common in people's minds, and can include things like a keyboard and a mouse that people use to interact with the computer.

A voice interface could be an application that uses voice recognition for its commands, such as voice phone prompts or speech to text translators on computers. Other types of interfaces such as touch screens or tablet PCs combine tactile and graphical user interfaces into a hybrid interface.

There are many types of ways for users to interact with computers, but they all fall under the category of user interfaces.
