Article link: SLAP Widgets: virtual controls you can touch
This article is about "SLAP Widgets" which are plastic and silicone objects that are used with a multi-touch table/screen that allows people to control interface values through physical push buttons, sliders, knobs, keypads and keyboards. SLAP Widgets were created by RWTH Aachen University in Germany with UCSD in California.
The article writes that "As seductive as [multi-touch screens] are, there are still times when the tactile feedback and accuracy of physical objects are still preferable," and I completely agree! Sometimes, actual keys are better than touchscreen keys.
