On Tangible User Interfaces, Humans and Spatiality by Ehud Sharlin, Benjamin Watson Yoshifumi Kitamura, Fumio Kishino and Yuichi Itoh
A tangible user interface (TUI) is something that is used by humans. They are interfaces that are physical, that can be touched and held in the real world, but can sometimes effect the digital realm. A good examples of TUI’s are the computer mouse. It combines spatial elements with the computer. People could move something on the computer while manipulating an object. The better TUI’s create more productivity as humans will be able to quickly get used to a certain interface. Creating more immersive TUI’s allows for more accessibility with technology.
