TUISTER: a Tangible UI for Hierarchical Structures
In Proceedings of PI03: Workshop on Real World User Interfaces, held at Mobile HCI 2003, Udine, Italy, 2003

Tangible user interfaces provide access to virtual information through intuitive physical manipulation. However, feedback is mostly provided by displays in the environment instead of the TUI itself. In this paper we describe the design of Tuister, a tangible user interface with multiple embedded displays and sensors. We explain how Tuister can be used to browse and access hierarchical structures and briefly describe the current state of a prototype we are building.
