Abstract

This special issue is devoted to the topic of tangible user interfaces and children. It
emphasizes research on tangibility that transcends system descriptions, focusing on the empirical
support of theories and design guidance. The papers result from the organization of a workshop at
the CHI 2009 ACM conference in Boston, USA. As an introduction to this issue, empirical
evidence is discussed for the potential benefits that using TUIs may have for children. In
particular, we focus at the impact of tangibility in terms of usability, learning, collaboration and
fun. Finally, we suggest directions for future work and outline the papers that are included in this
special issue.
