“…PbI, known as Tangible (sometimes Physical) Programming within the TUI domain, takes a traditional approach to programming, that is requiring users to learn and employ a syntactic construct (e.g., text instructions, natural or visual languages) to impart instructions to the system. Moving to PbI-based systems, Mugellini et al [32] proposed the concept of tangible shortcuts: they improved information access and retrieval using physical objects, enabling users to develop new shortcuts through a Visual Language based on a puzzle metaphor. In 2012 Wang et al introduced E-Block [33], a tangible programming tool for young children, enabling them to instruct a robot's movements by assembling different blocks, each assigned to a specific function.…”

These days we are witnessing a spread of many new digital systems in public spaces featuring easy to use and engaging interaction modalities, such as multi-touch, gestures, tangible, and voice. This new user-centered paradigm-known as the Natural User Interface (NUI)-aims to provide a more natural and rich experience to end users; this supports its adoption in many ubiquitous domains, as it naturally holds for Pervasive Displays: these systems are composed of variously-sized displays and support many-to-many interactions with the same public screens at the same time. Due to their public and moderated nature, users need an easy way of adapting them to heterogeneous usage contexts in order to support their long-term adoption. In this paper, we propose an End-User Development approach to this problem introducing TAPAS, a system that combines a tangible interaction with $ This is an extended and revised version of a paper that was presented at the 2015 Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing [13]. This paper significantly expands over TAPAS' design rationale, presentation, and resulting discussion.
