Additional information
<20>The paper significance is that it questions some of the central tenets of tangible interfaces, and takes apart the mythical belief that physical affordances make tangibles intuitive to use, when they may often actually be misleading and make it hard for people to step back, reflect and learn. The findings and principles have had a significant impact and are acknowledged in a wide range of work, for example Tseng and Bryant's on encouraging children's reflections with mechanix, Letondal et al's with air traffic controllers, and Wiethoff et al's on prototype design.
