Abstract :
Balancing a ball along a tillable track is a control metaphor for a variety of continuous control tasks. The authors designed the Ballancer experimental tangible interface to exploit such a metaphor. Direct, model-based sonification of the rolling ball improves the experience and effectiveness of the interaction.
