Three Media TUIs

Figure 1: Classifying the three projects

Whereas the previous section discussed the general background of tangible user interfaces for media manipulating and editing (referred to as media TUIs through the rest of this article), this section exposes and summarizes three concrete examples.
For the sake of simplicity, each summary is divided into the same four subsections. The first describes the general goal of the TUI and attempts to classify it amongst the categories defined in [11]5. Additionaly, Figure 1 provides a visual idea of the projects' classification. Eventually, the ``Components Overview'' and ``System Overview'' subsections discusses the intrinsic properties of each tangible user interface. With latter focusing on the interactions of the components exposed in the former.
