Um eine Mensch-Maschine-Schnittstelle gut zu entwerfen, muß man von Anfang an die Disziplinen Hard- und Software-Entwicklung, Design und Mensch-Maschine-Kommunikation berücksichtigen. Die gleichberechtigte Gewichtung dieser vier Disziplinen ist das Besondere an diesem Fachbuch. Es bietet dem Leser einen sehr praxisorientierten Einstieg in die Problematik des Entwurfs von MMS und ist nicht im Stil wissenschaftlicher Arbeiten gehalten, sondern versteht sich als Leitfaden. Vorkenntnisse sind nicht erforderlich. Für den Entwickler bietet es eine Vielzahl fertiger Lösungen, z. B. elektronische Schaltungen, Programme für die 8051-Mikrocontrollerfamilie, sowie Entscheidungshilfen für die Auswahl der geeigneten Elemente einer MMS.
