Conference Proceeding
Oakley, I., & Esteves, A. (2013). On and Offline Tangible Interaction: Studying the Secret Lives of Augmented Objects. In 2013 International Symposium on Ubiquitous Virtual Reality (ISUVR). https://doi.org/10.1109/isuvr.2013.12

The smart, augmented objects that appear in systems that support tangible interaction have a dual life. While they can exhibit complex digital behaviors in the technological context they are designed for, they are also static, standard physical objec...

jamTable: Can Physical Interfaces Support the Collaboration between Novice and Experienced Musicians? (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Esteves, A., Quintal, F., & Oakley, I. (2013). jamTable: Can Physical Interfaces Support the Collaboration between Novice and Experienced Musicians?. In Haptic and Audio Interaction Design: 8th International Workshop, HAID 2013 (99-108). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-41068-0_11

This paper introduces jamTable, a system that enables the collaboration between users playing a standard musical instrument and users interacting with a tangible musical sequencer. In an introductory study both qualitative and quantitative data were... Read More about jamTable: Can Physical Interfaces Support the Collaboration between Novice and Experienced Musicians?.

Physical games or digital games?: comparing support for mental projection in tangible and virtual representations of a problem-solving task (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Esteves, A., van den Hoven, E., & Oakley, I. (2013). Physical games or digital games?: comparing support for mental projection in tangible and virtual representations of a problem-solving task. In TEI '13 Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction (167-174). https://doi.org/10.1145/2460625.2460651

This paper explores how different interfaces to a problem-solving task affect how users perform it. Specifically, it focuses on a customized version of the game of Four-in-a-row and compares play on a physical, tangible game board with that conducted...

Supporting offline activities on interactive surfaces (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Esteves, A., Scott, M., & Oakley, I. (2013). Supporting offline activities on interactive surfaces. In TEI 2013 - Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction (147-154). https://doi.org/10.1145/2460625.2460648

This paper argues that inherent support for offline activities -- activities that are not sensed by the system -- is one of strongest benefits of tangible interaction over more traditional interface paradigms. By conducting two studies with single an... Read More about Supporting offline activities on interactive surfaces.
