Tangibles : Five Properties to Consider for Children

Tangible interaction offers school age children certain affordances for action based learning. In this paper I present and illustrate five properties of tangible systems which designers should consider. The properties are proposed based on analysis of relevant literature from cognitive psychology. This categorization provides the foundation for understanding how to design the physical and digital properties of tangibles to support the abilities and limitations of child users.
