Tangible and embodied interactions – can they offer something for the way users understand and engage large language models (LLMs)? This is the question that we explored in studio (a.k.a. hands-on workshop) titled “Tangible LLMs: Tangible Sense-Making for Trustworthy Large Language Models” that PIT, namely Goda Klumbytė and Claude Draude, co-organised with Maxime Daniel and Nadine Couture (ESTIA Institute of Technology) and Leonardo Angelini, Elena Mugellini and Beat Wolf (University of Applied Sciences and Arts Western Switzerland). The studio took place during the ACM conference on Tangible Embodied Interactions (TEI) in Bordeaux, France, on 4-7 March 2025.
