چکیده

TUIs use everyday physical objects to interact with digital information. With decades of usage, computer peripherals became everyday physical objects. We observed that users manipulate them for other purpose than input and output devices. For example users turn their screen to avoid sun reflections, or move their keyboard ans mouse because they need space on their desk. In this work we see computer peripherals as everyday objects, and use them as TUIs. This paper presents two levels of tangible interaction with desktop computers: the first one is a keyboard with actuated keys. The keys can raise from their initial position, which can be used to represent interaction or extend interaction with keyboards. On the second level we actuated a mouse, a keyboard and a screen so that they can move around on the desk. We present scenarios showing how it extends interaction with a desktop computer setup.

Beyond Actuated Tangibles: Introducing Robots to Interactive Tabletops

Tangible user interfaces (TUIs) have been shown to support interaction on tabletops and interactive surfaces. We propose integrating robots as interactive partners in tabletop interfaces. We suggest a continuum of physical interfaces on interactive tabletops, starting from static tabletop TUIs, progressing to actuated TUIs and ending with small social tabletop robots that provide an engaging, p...

Translucent Tangibles on Tabletops: Exploring the Design Space

Tangible user interfaces play an important role in blended interaction concepts. In this paper we explore the design space of tangibles made of translucent materials and how they can be used on interactive displays; we investigate design aspects such as materials, form factors and interaction techniques and review existing translucent tangibles in literature accordingly. We also present three o...

Tangible Maps for Visually Impaired Users: Shape-Changing Perspectives

Interactive maps for visually impaired people are rarely dynamic and if so, very expensive. We developed a low-cost tangible tabletop interface that enables visually impaired users to dynamically construct maps. To do so, we designed a novel type of physical icons, called Tangible Reels. In this paper, we discuss how actuated Tangible Reels could be used to provide visually impaired users with ...

Core Tangibles and Tangible Visualizations: prospects for tangible convergence and divergence

We describe efforts toward “core tangibles” and “tangible visualizations.” These combine both convergent and divergent approaches toward the advance of tangible interfaces as a practical, useful approach for computationally-mediated interaction. We also describe several key enabling electronic, programmatic, and web-based tools.
