Tactile Information

Heba explains that tactile information refers to the 3-dimensional design on the screen-buttons, portals, and background designs, which help users orient themselves to the various features on an on-screen environment. Adding a third dimension helps users to respond to objects on the screen by making a button look like something one can press. It is important not to overdo tactile information because the screen can look too overwhelming and distract the user (133).
