We propose Control Blocks, a system of graspable interface tools designed to bring the benefits of tangible interaction to the complex tasks required of the tabletop computer groupware environment. Control blocks are physical artefacts, directly associated with virtual content, similar to the Bricks of [2]. They are however augmented with large mechanical controls to provide the manipulation of additional functionality without compromising the tool’s physical nature.
