Interacting with Tangible Objects in Distributed Settings
Elena de la Guía, María Dolores Lozano, Víctor M. R. Penichet · 2014
The rapid evolution of technology has changed the way in which we can interact with interactive systems. New physical workspaces have appeared such as Multi-Device Environments (MDE). These scenarios implicitly support Distributed User Interfaces allow us to distribute user interfaces on different devices. In this way, we take advantages of distributed human innate cognition. However, interactions with pixels on these GUI screens are inconsistent with our interactions with the rest of the physical environment in which we live. In this paper, we propose two different interaction techniques based on Tangible User Interfaces (designed with NFC technology). Then, we discuss the strengths and weaknesses of interaction techniques in distributed systems settings.
