ABSTRACT
In this paper we discuss metaphor modeling and interpretation in human computer interaction. We aim at evaluating metaphors in Tangible User Interfaces by matching entities and operations between the two domains of the metaphor: the physical interaction domain and the digital domain. A case study in tangible interaction is analyzed and a structured definition of interaction metaphor is derived and evaluated.

Embodied metaphors in tangible interaction design
For centuries, learning and development has been supported by physical activity and manipulating physical objects. With the introduction of embedded technologies, opportunities for employing tangible or embodied interaction for learning and development ...
Tangible Light: Back to Metaphor-Based Interaction
ISCID '10: Proceedings of the 2010 International Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Design - Volume 01In this paper we present Tangible light, a simple tangible interface that use behavioral and emotional metaphor to convey meaning in its interaction design. Our purpose is to take advantage of natural physical metaphor to achieve a heightened legibility ...
In search of metaphors for tangible user intefaces
DARE '00: Proceedings of DARE 2000 on Designing augmented reality environmentsIn this paper, we seek to identify interesting sources of metaphor for tangible user interfaces (TUIs). We begin by doing a systematic exploration of the design space that results from constructing simple TUI devices. From this we argue that a new set ...
