HUMAN BEING IN THE MANMADE WORLD

We humans are surrounded with machines in today’s techno age. The connectivity of humans with various man
made products is unavoidable. The interaction of human beings with the manmade world and the products is
termed as user interface.

A user interface (UI) is the part of a machine, product, or device with which a person interacts. Usually visual and
tactile in nature, a user interface is what an individual uses to make a machine or product do what he wants it to
do. The user interface should be intuitive and simple to use. Now that people are using mobile devices and the
digital age is flourishing, user interfaces are a common part of physical product design.

User interface design is an important part of the user experience, as designers work to enhance the user’s
interaction with products, both physical and digital. While the core principles and goals of UI design are similar
across physical and digital products, the two are not identical, with UI design for physical products requiring
additional considerations such as durability, actuation force, and other concerns not as applicable to designing the
UI for a digital product, while digital product UIs have their own unique considerations as well.

User interface designs must be functional and purposeful. Each element of the UI design should meet users’ needs
and help them accomplish the goal they set out to achieve by using the product. Designers need to be problem
solvers and understand how their UIs will deliver a solution to the individuals who interact with them.

As a result, designers also need to make their UIs as clear and usable as possible. People do not want the UI to get
in the way of using a product or device.

Some of the greatest challenges with user interface design include keeping up with trends and adapting to
advancing technologies and consumer expectations. Voice user interface design already is changing the game, and
user interface designers continue to look for ways to make their user interfaces simple yet fully featured.
Consumers also expect to have seamless experiences in all aspects of their lives, and they look for voice- and
gesture-controlled products and devices that enhance their lives and don’t slow them down in any way.

Positive emotions, like joy, contentment, love, interest, amusement and pride, these emotions are evoked by
different eliciting conditions, and they also differ in how they influence our behavior.
It can be advantageous for designers to understand how distinct positive emotions are elicited and how these
emotions affect usage behavior.
