Sensators: Active Multisensory Tangible User Interfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although Tangible User Interfaces are considered an intuitive means of human-computer interaction, they oftentimes lack the option to provide active feedback. We developed ‘Sensators’: generic shaped active tangibles to be used on a multi-touch table. Sensators can represent digital information by means of ‘Sensicons’: multimodal messages consisting of visual, auditory, and vibrotactile cues. In our demonstration, we will present Sensators as suitable tools for research on multimodal perception in different tangible HCI tasks.

Subjective 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...
متن کاملSaving and Restoring Mechanisms for Tangible User Interfaces through Tangible Active Objects
In this paper we present a proof of concept for saving and restoring mechanisms for Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs). We describe our actuated Tangible Active Objects (TAOs) and explain the design which allows equal user access to a dial-based fully tangible actuated menu metaphor. We present a new application extending an existing TUI for interactive sonification of process data with saving and...
متن کاملTNT: Touch 'n' Tangibles on LC-Displays
In this paper, we present TNT (Touch ‘n’ Tangibles) a new combination of several existing hardware technologies, which are integrated into an LC-display. TNT enables users to interact using finger touch and tangible user interfaces at the same time on an active flat panel screen, while maintaining precise identification of all interactive objects and fingers. TNT can accurately distinguish betw...
متن کاملTangible Meets Gestural: Gesture Based Interaction with Active Tokens
Emerging multi-touch and tangible interaction techniques have a potential for enhancing learning and discovery but have limitations when manipulating large data sets. Our goal is to define novel interaction techniques for multitouch and tangible interfaces, which support the exploration of and learning from large data sets. In this paper we discuss conceptual, cognitive, and technical dimension...
متن کاملReach the virtual environment: 3D tangible interaction with scientific data
In this paper we present an augmented virtuality system with a set of tangible devices for interactive visualization with scientific data (volumetric scalar field data and molecular data). We describe the design concepts and application scenarios that underlie the development of the interfaces and system. The prototype system allows users to interact with scientific data by manipulating tangibl...
