Here, we propose the notion of Reality-Based Interaction (RBI) as a basis for understanding the role of tangible user interfaces (TUIs) within the broader context of emerging human-computer interaction styles. We are developing a Reality-Based Interaction framework to understand, compare, and relate current paths of HCI research. Viewing tangible interaction through the lens of RBI may provide ... read moreinsights for designers and may allow us to find gaps or opportunities for future development. Furthermore, we are using RBI to develop new evaluation techniques for features of emerging interfaces that are currently unquantifiable.read less
