The user interface is the part of a system exposed to a user. The
system can be any kind of machine, also a computerized system or a software
application. As for software, the user interface is usually the only part a user ever sees. The user interacts with a system
through its user interface.
The design of the user interface is relevant for the user's understanding (also
called the mental model) of the
system and thus for the system's usability or user-friendliness.
