Designing Virtual Realism Auckland, April 2009 Tactile Interaction ©2009 Dan Rubin » http://sidebarcreative.com the tactile interaction of the screen — mouse, trackball, keyboard, tablet: the pointer on screen is an extension of our physical body, it is a virtual appendage, and clicking is the closest thing to physical interaction; we love touchscreens because the basic level of interaction is normal: we point at something we want to interact with, and touch it. But we're still interacting with a ﬂat surface/texture.
