ABSTRACT
In this paper, I present an integrated demonstration of the first multi-touch NetLogo model. The example leverages visitor interaction with an interactive tabletop game on the topic of evolutionary adaptations of social insects that I designed in collaboration with a large Midwestern museum. The interaction is a collaborative exploration of complex systems with potential for novel cooperative museum learning.

Fighting Fires and Powering Steam Locomotives: Distribution of Control and Its Role in Social Interaction at Tangible Interactive Museum Exhibits
CHI '21: Proceedings of the 2021 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsWe present a video-analysis study of museum visitors’ interactions at two tangible interactive exhibits in a transport museum. Our focus is on groups’ social and shared interactions, in particular how exhibit setup and structure influence collaboration ...
Engaging families around museum exhibits: comparing tangible and multi-touch interfaces
IDC '20: Proceedings of the Interaction Design and Children ConferenceOver the last decade, large multitouch displays have become commonplace in museums and other public spaces. While there is preliminary evidence that exhibits based on tangible technologies can be more attractive and engaging for visitors than displays ...
