Abstract

Fine art and design students face a novel set of challenges when asked to realize their creative vision with code-based projects. In this paper, we discuss the development of a system of tangible tiles and integrated software code factory that is intended to help students build bridges of understanding between proposed interactive and networked experiences and the required computer syntax, software libraries and hardware that animate those proposals. Our tiles help students see relationships between artistic concept and programmatic code by giving them intuitive tools that can be directly manipulated.

Tangible programming elements offer the dynamic and programmable properties of a computer without the complexity introduced by the keyboard, mouse and screen. This paper explores the extent to which programming skills are used by children during ...
Tilting table: a movable screen
TEI '07: Proceedings of the 1st international conference on Tangible and embedded interaction

In screen-based experiences, the screen itself can become the physical device used for interaction. The "move-ability" of the screen affords interactivity between the screen artifact and the viewer, and between the virtual and physical spaces. We have ...
