TUI (Tangible User Interface)

实体用户界面，用真实物体、表面或空间同时作为数字信息的表征和操控手段，用户通过抓取、移动、摆放等物理动作与数字系统交互。

English Definition

"A user interface that uses physical objects, surfaces, or spaces as representations of and controls for digital information, allowing users to interact with digital systems through direct physical manipulation."

用法说明 · 针对中文母语者

中文常译为'实体用户界面'或'有形用户界面'。在 HCI 文献中常与 GUI 成对出现，注意区分 tangible（实体的、可操作的）与 tactile（触觉反馈的）。

常见错误

·把 TUI 误译为'触觉用户界面'（tactile user interface）——tactile 强调触觉反馈，TUI 强调的是可操控的物理对象
·把 TUI 等同于带触摸屏的设备——TUI 的核心在于物理对象与数字系统之间的双向映射
