Tangible User Interfaces: Past, Present, and Future Directions

In the last two decades, Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) have emergedas a new interface type that interlinks the digital and physical worlds.Drawing upon users’ knowledge and skills of interaction with the realnon-digital world, TUIs show a potential to enhance the way in whichpeople interact with and leverage digital information. However, TUIresearch is still in its infancy and extensive research is required inorder to fully understand the implications of tangible user interfaces,to develop technologies that further bridge the digital and the physical,and to guide TUI design with empirical knowledge....
