Abstract

The proliferation of smartphone and tablet technology has seen consumers opting to move further away from the classical interaction notions of keyboards and mice, and closer towards physical interactions using their fingers (Ozkan & Gokalp-Yavuz, 2015). Furthering this drive, Tangible User Interfaces (TUI)s present an augmented interaction domain whereby real-life physical objects are used to interact and manipulate digital information (Ullmer, et al., 2005; Ullmer & Ishii, 2001). This inherent ability to interplay between the physical and digital domains makes TUI systems even more intuitive and thus has gathered interest for application in numerous domains.
