Peripherals are a common obstacle when learning operate computers, because most ones do not directly map input in user interface. It has been argued that touch- and gesture-based interfaces, due direct mapping input, can reduce obstacles face, using computer. To assess this, paper presents project uses multi-touch tabletop system gaming platform for adults. Specifically, it reports on low-fidelity prototype was built test whether tangible objects be used. Conclusions regarding viability purpose also drawn.
