Paper Abstract:
|
This paper deals with a tangible interface, Tangisense, and aims at presenting the contribution of tangibility to the field of man-machine interaction from the point of view of affordance. Some experiments build on a tangible table Tangisense, developed by the laboratory, demonstrate that the affordance plays different roles related to the context, the type of task and the collaborative interaction with others users. We show that the affordance of objects is a complex concept that depends not only on the appearance of the object but also on what users do in a collaborative context. |
