The Effects of a Tangible User Interface On designers’ spatial cognition
نویسندگان
چکیده
A tangible user interface for designers changes the way in which the designers perceive and interact with a digital model. We studied the changes a specific tangible user interface has on designers’ spatial cognition through the comparison of designers using tangible user interface and graphical user interface environments. The results reveal that TUIs change designers’ spatial cognition, and then the changes in spatial cognition affect the design processes by increasing designers’ problem-finding behaviours leading to a creative design.

متن کاملDo Tangible User Interfaces Impact Spatial Cognition in Collaborative Design?
Developments in digital design workbenches that combine Augmented Reality (AR) systems and tangible user interfaces (TUIs) on a horizontal display surface provide a new kind of physical and digital environment for collaborative design. The combination of tangible interaction with AR display techniques change the dynamics of the collaboration and have an impact on the designers’ perception of 3D...

متن کاملCreative Design in a Tangible User Interface Environment
This paper shows that tangible user interfaces support cognitive actions that are associated with creative design. The evidence for this is a case study of designers using a tangible user interface environment for manipulating 3D models on a digital design workbench. Focussing on how the new interface technology changes designers’ spatial cognition, we compare designers using tangible user inte...
متن کاملGetting down to details: Using theories of cognition and learning to inform tangible user interface design
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...
