TessalTable
Presenting the TessalTable, a tangible user interface for children, aged 8-10, to create patterns and pictures using pieces of images and moving video. Children use tiles to“pick up” a piece of an image. The tiles act as containers for visual content which can be arranged and rearranged anywhere on the application surface. The tile-based controls allow for simultaneous multi-user input. A preliminary study found that children understand and engage with the interface. The ability to arrange and rearrange dynamic images invites users to explore geometric patterns and connected motion.
