Abstract

A tabletop interface can provide multi-layered images and a see-through effect of multimedia contents in order for a user to explore contents effectively in a very convincing way. Using these techniques, we can provide adapted information in various useful ways, depending on the user's Region of Interest (ROI). Previous researches use indirect methods such as laser pointers and touch interactions to manipulate the ROI, but these methods are not intuitive to use. We propose an improved version of Steerable Tangible Interface (STI), with which users can manipulate contents more intuitively due to its tactile characteristic. Our experiments show that the proposed STI reduces the completion time of given tasks and improves user's memory of remembering content when they are compared with ordinary touch based interactions.
