Adopting a re-materialization approach, we designed and implemented an everyday interactive artifact that enables an individual to monitor and establish the reconfirmation time of email data. This device represents a new means of handling and interacting with email. To investigate the value of the materialization of email data through a daily interactive object, Maili, we conducted a 1-month field study with five participants in their work environments. The results showed that applying physicality to email handling helped to increase accessibility to and interest in the data, as well as in the reconfirmation function of email. Results also indicated the value of combining non-digital (the tray) with digital functions. By presenting the process of using the dematerialized data, our findings offer new insights into how we can materialize digital information in everyday tangible artifacts.

通过电子邮件处理的具体化研究与数字数据的物理交互

采用重新物化方法，我们设计并实现了一个日常交互式工件，使个人能够监控和确定电子邮件数据的重新确认时间。该设备代表了一种处理电子邮件并与之交互的新方法。为了调查通过日常交互对象 Maili 实现电子邮件数据的价值，我们在他们的工作环境中对五名参与者进行了为期 1 个月的实地研究。结果表明，将物理性应用于电子邮件处理有助于增加对数据的可访问性和兴趣，以及电子邮件的重新确认功能。结果还表明了将非数字（托盘）与数字功能相结合的价值。通过介绍使用非物质化数据的过程，
