My research exploits the strengths, weaknesses, and limitations of the Tangible User Interface for digital information from a user-centric point of view and find an appropriate design opportunity for it. The study investigates user perception in TUI, including the role of analogy and similarity, constraints and affordances of a physical form, and distributed representation in the world to inquire into the trade-offs between reality and virtuality in TUI design process.
