ABSTRACT
As TUI research moves from technical to empirical studies which explore theoretical claims, it is important for researchers to be able to quickly and easily build low fidelity (lo-fi) prototypes to explore the unique features of interaction that TUIs offer. Currently, the best practices for choosing prototyping materials are vague at best. In this paper, I present an analysis of the role of materials in inquiry and propose a set of criteria for evaluating the suitability of lo-fi prototyping materials.
