Abstract
This paper presents the development and testing of a tangible user interface (TUI) project that includes the exploration of haptics, design processes, hybrid design tools and unconventional user interfaces (NUI) that focus essentially on the tangible bits, embodiment, meta-cognitive and user interaction (IxD) on concrete devices designed to explore sensorial feedbacks (e.g. sense of touch, tactility etc.). We include preliminary user-testing with a heterogeneous group of 24 participants and show initial results and findings based on usability, interaction modality and user experience (UX).
Keywords: computational design methods, conceptual design, cyber physical systems, design creativity, uncertainty
