DNA |
Completed
in September 2007
DNA multi-user touch screen workbench allows users to learn the concept of Complimentary Base Pairing by manipulating and connecting nucleotides by hand. Interacting with the wall projection next to the workbench, users engage their entire body in exploring the concept of super coiling.

A video dance interpretation of chromosome movement is
accompanied by an animated computer visualization of cell
replication process. The resulting video is designed to
serve as a supplemental learning object for Biology 101
students studying DNA processes. (July, 2004) |
