A physical icon, or phicon, is the tangible computing equivalent of an icon in a traditional graphical user interface, or GUI. Phicons hold a reference to some digital object and thereby convey meaning.[1][2][3]
History
Physical icons were first used as tanglible interfaces in the metaDesk project built in 1997 by Professor Hirshi Ishii's tanglible bits research group at MIT.[4][5]
