Many researchers have suggested that tangible user interfaces (TUIs) have potential to support learning. However, the theories used to explain possible effects are often invoked at a very broad level without explication of specific mechanisms by which the affordances of TUIs may be important for learning processes. Equally problematic, we lack theoretically-grounded guidance for TUI designers a...

INTRODUCTION In this study, we investigated the effects of treatment with a transurethral incision (TUI) for congenital urethral stenosis, which was accompanied by diurnal and nocturnal enuresis. METHODS We recruited 21 young males who presented to our department for the treatment of diurnal and nocturnal enuresis from January 2010 to March 2014. All patients underwent TUI due to urethral str...

This article presents a comparison of the effects of inputoutput location (co-located versus discrete) on user performance in a tangible user interface (TUI) system. We conducted a mobile eye-tracking study with two different versions of a TUI system and, despite similar performances in both conditions, our findings revealed differences in the users gaze patterns, shedding new light on the unde...

Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) have drawn the interest of HCI and learning communities because of their potential positive impact on the learning experience. In this paper, we describe a preliminary study of a TUI application for training spatial skills of carpenter apprentices. We designed a tangible interface to perform a CAD modelling activity in a way that resembles what apprentices do in ...

The intuitiveness of tangible user interface (TUI) is not only for its operator. It is quite possible that this type of user interface (UI) can also have an effect on the experience and learning of observers who are just watching the operator using it. To understand the possible effect of TUI, the present study focused on the mu rhythm suppression in the sensorimotor area reflecting execution a...

For expressing trypsin inhibitor activity (TIA), units inhibited (TUI), inhibited, and inhibitors have been used. Although the last two are preferred, their calculations in current practices require refinement. With proposed AOCS method Ba 12a-2020, four experiments were conducted, using preparations having specific of 11,625, 12,602, 13,728, 14,926 N?-benzoyl-L-arginine ethyl ester (BAEE) unit...

Physical computing platforms such as the Arduino have significantly simplified developing physical musical interfaces. However, those platforms typically target everyday programmers rather than composers and media artists. On the other hand, tangible user interface (TUI) toolkits, which provide an integrated, easy-to-use solution only support a limited set of compatible sensors. We propose a co...

—We are suggesting a graphical tangible user interface for augmented reality (AR) authoring tool in product design Environment. This user interface can be used for more efficient and intuitive manipulation of a 3D virtual model in initial prototyping. A game-phone of portable electronic products is selected for our target authoring product. The suggested authoring methods exploit the advantages...

Designing tangible user interfaces (TUIs) means to deal with a complex number of issues related to the particular mixture of the physical and digital space. While a number of existing guidelines and frameworks propose issues and themes that are relevant during design, we still miss a more specific guidance on how to address such issues. This chapter analyses the difficulty of designing and deve...
