TangiWeb features one desk and one information display. Blocks are placed in order to manipulate HTML code which in turn is used to create a website. The blocks can also be scanned in order to learn more about the underlying code.

The interaction at the desk starts with selecting three themes which decide the content for the website. The theme blocks are placed in three specific compartments on the desktop surface which have colors assigned to them; red, blue, and yellow. These colors represent the colors of the building blocks used to arrange the website content. For example, by placing the theme “rainforest” in the blue compartment, all the digital content for the blue building blocks will be about the rainforest. The user then selects the background color of the website by placing a background color block in the compartment below the three theme compartments.

The actual building and arranging of the website content then begins. The user can choose between different types of building blocks as well as sizes of these blocks and place them on the main surface. The blocks are sized to fit within a grid and contain different content such as videos, images and text.

As the user places different building blocks on the desk, a display which is positioned above the desk shows the current layout as an actual website. When a block is moved, it moves the digital object in real time so that the user recieved feedback on what is happening. When the user is done with the website layout, a button on the desk is pressed which publishes the website. In addition to this, a business card is printed with the link to the website. In this way, the user can visit and explore their very own website as well as share it with others.
