Video inputs are another option showing up on displays that increasingly offer touch control.

Liquid crystal displays have rapidly gone from limited usage to mainstream, transforming human-machine interfaces (HMIs). Video images are being added to the diverse list of functions for these displays, which are also becoming input devices as touch technology gains acceptance.

Diversity is one of the key reasons displays are becoming a mainstay in HMI strategies. This versatility means that ease of use is a focal point for design teams.
