Easy-to-use collaborative robotics solutions, where human workers and robots share their
skills, are entering the market, thus becoming the new frontier in industrial robotics. They …

We report on a controlled user study comparing three visualization environments for
common 3D exploration. Our environments differ in how they exploit natural human …

In the last two decades, Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) have emerged as a new interface
type that interlinks the digital and physical worlds. Drawing upon users' knowledge and skills …

Our current understanding of human interaction with hybrid or augmented environments is
very limited. Here we focus on'tangible interaction', denoting systems that rely on embodied …

New forms of tangible and spatial child computer interaction and supporting technologies
can be designed to leverage the way children develop intelligence in the world. The author …

This paper explores how personal attributes, such as age, gender, technological expertise,
or “need for touch”, correlate with people's preferences for properties of tangible privacy …

A prevalent assumption behind interface approaches that employ physical means of
interaction is that this leverages users' prior knowledge from the real world. This paper …

In this paper we suggest the use of tangible user interfaces (TUIs) for human-robot
interaction (HRI) applications. We discuss the potential benefits of this approach while …

We present a tangible user interface (TUI) called Tangible Graph Builder, that has been
designed to allow visually impaired users to access graph and chart-based data. We …

This special issue is devoted to the topic of tangible user interfaces and children. It
emphasizes research on tangibility that transcends system descriptions, focusing on the …
