Summary: In this paper, we describe FrontPanel, a tangible user interface that
enhances accessibility features in an iPad. More specifically, FrontPanel was
designed for the senior population who has difficulty interacting with
touch-screen tablets because of the lack of tangibility. FrontPanel is a result
of one year help sessions with elderly who wished to replace their
desktop/laptop computer with a touch-screen tablet that has the advantage of
being light and mobile.
