WeCare i-Board: A Tangible User Interface for Communication

The idea of this work is to create an interaction between people to keep them connected emotionally during the Covid crisis. The goal is to provide two interactive boards(i-Boards) and to let people communicate using it wireless. The device embodies digital information in physical space and aims to go beyond the limits of graphical user interfaces. It also expands the affordances of simple physical objects (e.g cubes) and surfaces (board). It provides a tangible interface and also has its own elements of fun to keep the interaction as intuitive and as fun as possible. The user interface design choices and the limitations were also investigated.
