Abstract

This investigation proposes to observe tangible interfaces (TUIs) through Artificial Intelligence (AI) platforms that, today, play an essential role in the interaction between humans and machines. These are digital means of generating information, communication and interaction that develop together with AIs. These interfaces act as a connection point between users and the media, sending and receiving data and information that enable the visualization of the results generated by the AI algorithms. Taking into account the aesthetics of interaction, the characteristics of the tangible interfaces that constitute AIs will be analyzed and, when contemplating issues such as speculative, responsive and adaptive design and ubiquitous interactions, they adapt to users' preferences and needs.
