Comparison of Tangible User Interfaces with Enactive

InterfacesTangible User

InterfaceEnactive Interface

Tangible User Interfaces

• “give physical form to digital information, employing physical artefacts both as representations and controls for computational media” (Ullmer and Ishii 2000)

• Frameworks include:– Model-Control-Representation(physical/digital)

with 4 instances (Ullmer and Ishii 2000)– Fishkin’s embodiment/metaphor taxonomy.

(2004)

Spatial (AudioPad) Constructive (BlockJam)

Relational (Logo slot-machine) Associative (MusicBottles)

Why Tangible User Interfaces?

• Longer history than Enactive Interfaces. • Greater practical knowledge in their

design.• The tangibility gives a direct link to

bodily learning. • Is it possible to draw from this

experience to inform the design of new Enactive Interfaces?

Enactive Interfaces

• Expression and transmission of enactive knowledge.

• Bodily knowledge as opposed to iconic or symbolic knowledge.

• Direct and Immediate form of interaction between human and computer.

• Promotes tighter coupling between perception and action

Criteria of Embodied/Enactive Interaction

1. Embodied activity is Situated2. Embodied activity is Timely3. Embodied activity is Multimodal4. Embodied activity is Engaging.5. The sense of embodiment is an

emergent phenomenon. (Armstrong 2006)

Use of the Tangible-Enactive design space.

• Guide the design of new enactive interfaces.

• Does an enactive TUI make a better TUI?• Do all TUI’s allow enactive interaction?

• Design Enactive Interfaces that have the Immediacy & Richness of Tangible Interaction.

Current Work

• ‘BeatBearing’ rhythm sequencer.• How to move around the design space?• When is an enactive TUI desirable?
