Abstract

This paper presents a simple means to tag real world physical objects with digital information and functions. The system is low-cost and easily distributable to allow the general public outside the laboratory and academic environments to explore and experiment with physical-digital object couplings as an interface. The system is a tool to test out conceptual physical-digital mapping and metaphor and to prototype elements of Tangible User Interface. It can simply enhance the Graphical User Interface experience.
