Abstract
To design interfaces which occupy a continuous space of interaction, the conceptual model of an interface needs to be transferred to a spatial model. To find mappings between conceptual and spatial structure which are natural to people, an experiment is undertaken in which participants organize objects in a semi-circle of shelves around their body. It is analyzed how conceptual relationships between objects such as categorial relationships and sequential relationships within task performance are represented in spatial configurations of objects as chosen by the participants. In these configurations, a strong correlation between conceptual and spatial relationships is observed between objects.
