An "interface" like Descartes' pineal gland? Or would you prefer something RESTful?
While technical metaphors applied to the good ol' philosophical mind body problem look so modern they are also totally inept. There is no archticture or VM to port your consciousness to, nor can you upload it to AWS.
To get more accurate metaphors on consciousness, maybe it's better to start with the biologic basis like Plessner did: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmuth_Plessner https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmuth_Plessner
