Bio Unbound: Stuff Of Life Dancing 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.

Completed in July 2004

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)
