Created at the HS Augsburg in the Interaction Engineering course, the project explores the possibility of converting a physical whiteboard into a tangible interface with digitally extended functionality. The resulting hybrid whiteboard allows for creating and manipulating digital notes with real tangible magnets on a magnetic board.

We developed two different approaches to the interaction with the board, which were compared in the user study. This helped us evaluate the usability of two versions and the preferred interaction type amongst users. The result has shown the preference towards the more simplistic, intuitive and stable interactions.
Overall, the study has shown the strong potential for the future development of the idea, with possibility to be used in real-life environments like offices and universities.
