Applications of computer-controlled actuation in workbench tangible user interfaces
Tangible user interfaces give physical form to digital information, bridging the gap between the digital world of bits and the physical world of atoms. They offer many advantages over traditional graphical user interfaces, including two-handed manipulation, simplified multi-user collaboration, and …
