Playdough to Roombots: Towards a Novel Tangible User Interface for Self-reconfigurable Modular Robots

Auke Ijspeert, Mehmet Hasan Mutlu, Simon Lukas Hauser, Alexandre Bernardino

One of the main strengths of self-reconfigurable modular robots (SRMR) is their ability to shape-shift and dynamically change their morphology. In the case of our SRMR system "Roombots", these shapes can be quite arbitrary for a great variety of tasks whil ...

Detecting Collaborative Dynamics Using Mobile Eye-Trackers

Pierre Dillenbourg, Kshitij Sharma, Sébastien Cuendet, Guillaume Zufferey, Bertrand Roland Schneider

: Prior work has successfully described how low and high-performing dyads of students differ in terms of their visual synchronization (e.g., Barron, 2000; Jermann, Mullins, Nuessli & Dillenbourg, 2011). But there is far less work analyzing the diversity of ...

Using Mobile Eye-Trackers to Unpack the Perceptual Benefits of a Tangible User Interface for Collaborative Learning

Pierre Dillenbourg, Kshitij Sharma, Guillaume Zufferey, Sébastien Cuendet, Bertrand Roland Schneider

In this study, we investigated the way users memorize, analyze, collaborate, and learn new concepts on a Tangible User Interface (TUI). Twenty-seven pairs of apprentices in logistics (N = 54) interacted with an interactive simulation of a warehouse. Their ...

Screen or Tabletop: An Eye-Tracking Study of the Effect of Representation Location in a Tangible User Interface System

Pierre Dillenbourg, Sébastien Cuendet, Mina Shirvani Boroujeni, Beat Adrian Schwendimann, Lorenzo Lucignano

This article presents a comparison of the effects of input-output location (co-located versus discrete) on user performance in a tangible user interface (TUI) system. We conducted a mobile eye-tracking study with two different versions of a TUI system and, ...

An integrated way of using a tangible user interface in a classroom

Pierre Dillenbourg, Jessica Elke Dehler Zufferey, Sébastien Cuendet

Despite many years of research in CSCL, computers are still scarcely used in classrooms today. One reason for this is that the constraints of the classroom environment are neglected by designers. In this contribution, we present a CSCL environment designed ...
