Tangible Interface
Tangible Interface in Interaction Design means using real objects that people can touch and move to control digital information. Designers can use things like blocks, knobs, or sliders that connect to computers or smart devices. These objects make it easy for people to understand and use digital systems because they can feel and see what is happening. Tangible interfaces can help groups work together, since more than one person can touch and move the objects at the same time. One interesting fact is that these interfaces can help people learn faster, since moving real things helps the brain remember better.
