User interfaces (UIs) can be classified into several primary types based on how users interact with the system:
- **Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs)**: Users interact with visual representations such as icons, buttons, and menus on digital screens or control panels.
- **Voice-Controlled Interfaces (VUIs)**: Users interact through spoken voice commands, commonly found in smart assistants.
- **Gesture-Based Interfaces**: Users engage with digital or virtual spaces through physical bodily motions, such as in virtual reality games.

Types of User Interfaces

Graphical user interfaces (GUIs)

Users interact with these through their voices. Most smart assistants—e.g., Siri on iPhone and Alexa on Amazon devices—are VUIs.

Voice-controlled interfaces (VUIs)

Users engage with 3D design spaces through bodily motions: e.g., in virtual reality (VR) games.
