 * Merge: The short four-sentence article is probably not needed as a stand alone, but could be merged into the Tangible user interface article. Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 21:42, 29 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Merge: this basic concept has been shown many times, for instance in the MS Surface, but it was not referred to as such. It appears this is simply the name used to refer to the concept in one specific instance, so merging it to an article on tangible or metalDesk seems like the right solution.
