Abstract
This paper introduces a tangible user interface for browsing
and retrieving images from an image database. The basis
for the query to the image database is a color layout sketch,
which is used by the underlying query algorithm to find the
best matches. The users are provided with colored cubes of
various sizes (1.5 to 4 cm) and colors (8 base colors). The
users can place and arrange the colored cubes on a small
table to create a color layout sketch. Multiple users can use
this interface to collaborate in an image query. To evaluate
the benefits of the interface, it is compared to a traditional
GUI application in which the users use a mouse to create a
color layout sketch.
