Complex planning tasks require substantial cognitive resources. Supporting planning tasks through enabling embodied interaction and providing multisensory feedback may reduce the cognitive load. We developed Sensators: interactive tangible objects to be used on multi-touch tables which provide both. In our demonstration, the user can experience the effect of these Sensators in planning a route through a virtual supermarket using touch-screen and passive Sensators (no feedback) or active Sensators providing multisensory feedback.
