Eduardo H. Calvillo Gámez, Nancy Leland, Orit Shaer and Robert J.K. Jacob
ABSTRACT This paper introduces a new paradigm for describing Tangible User Interfaces (TUI). The paradigm presented here encompasses existing TUI classications and proposes a unified conceptual framework with which all TUIs can be understood. In order to show that the new paradigm holds and can be generalized we analyzed several existing TUIs using the
proposed paradigm.
