Tutorial: Physical and Tangible User Interfaces

The tutorial provides an overview on physical user interfaces for ubiquitous computing. Method, tools, and devices for input and output beyond traditional user interfaces are discussed. The tutorial contains an overview of research in the area published in the last years. An introduction to platforms (software and hardware) and methods, that help to quickly start the development of such interfaces is provided. Based on our experience from our recent projects we discuss problems, challenges and opportunities. The tutorial also contains several exercises to actively involve participants.

Topics

  • user interface trends
  • real world interaction vs. human computer interaction
  • research overview
  • sensors and actuators for novel user interfaces
  • platforms for tangible computing
  • application areas and experience
