Translucent Tangibles on Tabletops: Exploring the Design Space

چکیده
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 of our prototypes that are currently in development.

متن کاملAugmenting Interactive Tabletops with Translucent Tangible Controls
Multi-touch surfaces enable multi-hand and multi-person direct manipulation interfaces. However, they lack haptic feedback. Tangible interfaces (TUIs) are a promising approach to this issue but most are special-purpose with fixed physical and visual appearance. This chapter provides an overview of recent work to add haptic feedback to interactive surfaces, including haptic and tactile displays,...
متن کاملBeyond 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...
متن کاملActuated Translucent Controls for Dynamic Tangible Applications on Interactive Tabletops
We present a novel type of tangible controls for interactive tabletops: actuated general-purpose widgets that are used to manipulate digital data on interactive tabletops. Due to their transparency the visual appearances can be changed dynamically. Unlike previous approaches, our widgets can be arranged and configured on the tabletop by employing an array of electromagnets beneath the multi-tou...
متن کاملSubjective User Experience and Performance with Active Tangibles on a Tabletop Interface
We developed active tangibles (Sensators) that can be used in combination with multitouch tabletops and that can provide multisensory (visual, auditory, and vibrotactile) feedback. For spatial alignment and rotation tasks we measured subjective user experience and objective performance with these Sensators. We found that active feedback increased accuracy in both tasks, for all feedback modalit...
