Abstract

We used the LED array around the edges of a custom tangible as a low-resolution display to provide users with real-time visual feedback on the current state of the system. We developed a guideline for mapping different types of edge feedback to different tangible interactions. We evaluated its effectiveness in two user studies. The first is an informal study, where experienced biologists worked with an existing tangible-tabletop biological system. The second is a formal study, where novice participants worked with a new tangible-tabletop biological system. Results of these studies suggest that edge feedback provides a better understanding of the system, increases user confidence, and can be useful in other interactive systems. Results also suggest that the proposed feedback mapping is intuitive and easy to remember.
