Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatuses for tactile user input are described herein. A tactile user input system includes a tactile input device and a smart table. The smart table comprises a network interface and a processing circuit. The processing circuit comprises a processor and a memory. The processing circuit is structured to sense a placement of the tactile input device on the smart table. The processing circuit is further structured to determine a necessary user input and determine a location of the tactile input device on the smart table. The processing circuit is further structured to rearrange a user interface of the smart table. The processing circuit is further structured to communicate a necessary input configuration to the tactile input device and used by the tactile input device to generate a tactile user interface having an appropriate layout based on the necessary input configuration.
