The actions in a GUI are usually performed through direct manipulation of the graphical elements.[4] Beyond computers, GUIs are used in many handheld mobile devices such as MP3 players, portable media players, gaming devices, smartphones and smaller household, office and industrial controls. The term GUI tends not to be applied to other lower-display resolution types of interfaces, such as video games (where head-up display (HUD)[5] is preferred), or not including flat screens, like volumetric displays[6] because the term is restricted to the scope of two-dimensional display screens able to describe generic information, in the tradition of the computer science research at the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center.
在图形化用户界面中,用户可以直接操纵图形元素,以完成相应操作。除了应用在计算机中,图形化用户界面在MP3播放器,可移动视频播放器,游戏机,手机,小型的家用、商用和工业控制等领域中也有广泛应用。GUI这个术语,在传统的计算机科学研究中,一般只局限在二维显示器,而诸如使用了HUD的低分辨率的屏幕,或者像多维的屏幕,一般不使用GUI这个术语。
