Tangible user interfaces offer a fresh way to interact with technology by blending the physical and digital worlds. Instead of relying only on a screen, mouse, or keyboard, users can control digital content by moving, touching, or gesturing with real objects. This hands-on approach makes technology more intuitive, lowers mental effort, and supports collaboration—ideal for learning, designing, problem-solving, and play. It’s a cutting-edge space where computer science meets art, engineering, and human behavior.

Using our unique backgrounds and interdisciplinary educations, we formed to create Illuminate.
