This is an ongoing project that aims to investigate how children and adults interact with and learn from large-scale spherical displays in the context of science museums – particularly when using gestures to engage with the display. This research is part of the Touch Interaction for Data Engagement with Science on Spheres (TIDESS) project with the INIT lab and Kathryn Stofer at the University of Florida.
