Paper Abstract:
|
To enable easy and intuitive control of applications there is increasing demand for Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs). To
allow use of TUI devices to control applications, a system needs to associate functions with the TUI devices. Several TUI
applications and toolkits have been proposed, but it is difficult to use these for various applications since conventional
toolkits require the user to perform several inconvenient operations. In this paper, we propose an automatic matching
algorithm that can be used between TUI devices and application functions. A user can freely place TUI devices on a
board and our system will associate the TUI devices with application functions by considering three types of user
preferences: the favorite type of device for each function, an intuitive position for functions, and the relationships
between functions. The proposed method achieved 87% accuracy in automatic function assignments. |
