Abstract :
In this paper, we present various novel tangible devices suitable for interactions in a mixed reality (MR) environment. They are aimed at making the best use of the features of MR, which allows users to touch or handle both virtual and physical objects. Furthermore, we consider usability and intuitiveness as important characteristics of the interface, and thus designed our devices to imitate traditional tools and help users understand their use.
