Tangible interface (TUI)
实体用户界面，通过可抓握的物理物件操控数字信息，强调身体动作与数字反馈的耦合。
English Definition
"An interface that uses physical objects, surfaces, or spaces as representations and controls for digital information, allowing users to manipulate digital data through graspable, physical artifacts."
用法说明 · 针对中文母语者
中文常译为'实体界面'或'可触界面'，但不要与 touchscreen（触摸屏）混淆。TUI 强调物理操控与空间对应关系，touchscreen 只是触屏输入技术。论文中也写作 TUI，全称通常是 Tangible User Interface。
常见错误
- ·误译为'有形界面'或'触屏界面'——tangible 强调可被身体操控和感知
- ·认为 TUI 就是触摸屏或触控 UI——TUI 的核心是物理对象与数字信息的双向耦合
- ·与 GUI 混用：GUI 基于图形元素，TUI 基于物理对象
