digital interfaces

Software interaction layers

Digital interfaces are the points of interaction between humans and electronic systems—screens, keyboards, touchpads, voice assistants, and the visual elements displayed on them.

The term encompasses both hardware (physical controls) and software (menus, buttons, icons).

The app's digital interface was intuitive enough for elderly users.

Good digital interface design anticipates how people naturally want to interact with technology.
