Abstract

Tangible interfaces have the potential to support learning for non-expert users, ease 3D navigation, and foster collaboration. We developed two physical devices aimed at school children for navigating a 3D virtual model of the human body. Results from a 40-subject user study suggest that these devices can encourage collaboration and improve the learnability of a navigational interface.
