The paper introduces 'Memory Stones,' a novel user-interface method for transferring information objects between devices using multi-touch input that simulates the physical actions of picking up and transporting solid objects. The method enhances the copy-and-paste functionality by allowing users to engage with intangible data as if handling tangible items, providing visual feedback through virtual representations of stones. The implementation is straightforward, using existing multi-touch devices and minimal additional requirements, which suggests that it could be broadly adopted across various computing platforms.
