Title: "A SURVEY ON TANGIBLE USER INTERFACES FOR DATA VISUALIZATION IN 
AUGMENTED REALITY"

by

Mr. Kentaro TAKAHIRA


Abstract:

Tangible User Interfaces (TUIs) have emerged as a key medium for data 
visualization, enhancing user experience by capitalizing on human 
cognition related to physical objects. Recent research integrates TUIs 
with Augmented Reality (AR) for more efficient data visualization 
interaction. TUIs offer effective solutions to challenges faced in 
designing interactions for data visualization in AR, such as unrestricted 
spatial availability, threedimensional space with depth perception, and 
multi-modal input/output functionalities. These attributes are considered 
to significantly contribute to the efficacious utilization of data 
visualization in AR. This survey undertakes a thorough investigation of 
the recent studies proposing interactions between TUIs and data 
visualization in AR. To facilitate a systematic understanding of the 
domain, this survey is proceeded according to three primary perspectives: 
1) the relationship between TUIs and data visualization, 2) the types of 
interactions afforded by TUIs, and 3) the visualization interaction tasks 
that are supported. The aim is to elucidate the current state of the field 
and to identify unsolved challenges and avenues for future research.
