We introduce Tangeo, a drawing system that combines tangible tools, such as rulers, protractors and set squares with table-top environment. Geometric on computers is often constrained to abstract widget tools metaphoric, indirect input methods mouse keyboard. Tangeo allows users construct geometric drawings in more direct manner by manipulating virtual data familiar physical objects finger. User evaluations yielded high rate of user satisfaction indicated the effective at enhancing drawing.
