Single vs. Multiple Tangibles

Tasks of a tangible user interface built for a multi-touch-table are examined in reply to the question wether users prefer one single tangible with dynamic functionality or multiple specific tangibles.

Members: Matthias Schenk, Fabian Zürcher

Keywords: WIP, user study, tangibles, single, multiple

Goals

Tangible User Interfaces use specific physical forms to represent and manipulate data in a system. Although the performance between classical GUIs and tangible UIs has been evaluated in the available literature, the actual design of graspable UIs needs further research.

Within this study we want to evaluate wether users prefer one single tangible with dynamic functionality or multiple specific tangibles.
