Thema: The Impact of Tangible Interaction Techniques on Higher Cognitive Processes

Abstract:

Multitouch interaction brought incredible advancements to our everyday life.
The success of smartphones is unprecedented in modern history for a good reason. 
On multitouch displays, input and output are collocated at the tip of our fingers.
This enables immediate feedback, highly flexible utilization of the available space, 
updatability of interfaces, and new accessibility features. However, a touchscreen's 
flat surface lacks haptic features, neglecting a big part of our sensory capabilities.
This thesis integrates itself into the tangible research community by presenting novel 
ways to create tangibles for capacitive screens and presenting a software framework to 
develop tangible applications with Apple's native APIs. We developed the Design Space 
of Tangible Interaction, a taxonomy to help researchers and designers comparing tangible 
designs and finding new ways to interact with tangibles. In this spirit, we evaluated 
tangibles in novel ways beyond their well-established usability benefits. We found them 
to contribute to users' way of thinking, awareness for collaborators, and intuitiveness 
of highly complex input tasks.
