Core Tangibles and Tangible Visualizations: prospects for tangible convergence and divergence
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

Tangible-Tango: Designing and Fabricating Tangibles with Tangibles
We present Tangible-Tango, a system which enables users to fabricate new tangibles and their equivalent 3D virtual models. Thus the cognitive load required to understand and interact with virtual models is reduced. Users build new models by iteratively creating and assembling physical models. Each physical model has an associated virtual model. The new models, both virtual and tangible, can be ...
متن کاملUsing tangible drawing tools on a capacitive multi-touch display
We present an innovative drawing tool that can detect tangible drawing instruments on a capacitive multi-touch tablet. There are three core components to the system: the tangible hardware, the recognizer used to identify the tangibles, and the drawing application. Our tangible drawing instruments include a ruler, protractor and set square. Users can apply these familiar physical instruments to ...
متن کاملKolab: appropriation & improvisation in mobile tangible collaborative interaction
Current design guidelines for conventional tangible systems suggest that the representational significance of tangible tokens is an important consideration in the design of tangible interaction, especially in collaborative contexts. Such advice might be assumed to imply that nomadic systems that employ improvised tokens are liable to have highly impaired usability. In this paper we describe Kol...
متن کاملTangibles: Five Properties to Consider for Children
Tangible interaction offers school age children certain affordances for action based learning. In this paper I present and illustrate five properties of tangible systems which designers should consider. The properties are proposed based on analysis of relevant literature from cognitive psychology. This categorization provides the foundation for understanding how to design the physical and digit...

We present CapTUI, an innovative drawing tool that detects tangible drawing instruments on a capacitive multi-touch tablet. There are three core components to the system: the tangible hardware, the recognizer used to identify the tangibles and the drawing software that works in tandem with the tangibles to provide intelligent visual drawing guides. Our recognizable tangible drawing instruments ...
