Abstract
We describe an approach for a class of tangible interaction elements that are applicable across a broad variety of interactive systems. These tangibles share certain physical, visual, tagging, and software conventions, while fostering diversity in many aspects of design and function. Building on related techniques using paper and graspable artifacts as interactive embodiments of digital information, we propose several fixed and free parameters, present illustrative examples and applications, and discuss the resulting design space.

diversity community to explore concept further (link to target) (edit comment) - Caroline Hummels @ January 27, 2010, at 12:22 PM
An interesting challenge to share not only technical information and data, physical "standards" but also aspects like meaning and behaviour within physical and social-cultural world. The diversity of the TEI community with respect to expertise is an excellent mechanism to develop Cartouches further.

TEI, the conference on tangible, embedded, and embodied interaction, is about HCI, design, interactive art, user experience, tools and technologies, with a strong focus on how computing can bridge atoms and bits into cohesive interactive systems.
