xMacroscope

Videos

We built an xMacroscope prototype and tested it out with families at the Makevention Event in Bloomington, Indiana. Their feedback helped us develop the hardware and software platforms. Filmed in 2018.

We originally planned to build the Make a Vis station into the Run experience in the Science Museum of Minnesota's Sportsology exhibit. Run is a popular experience that works well as a test bed for visualization research involving the xMacroscope platform.
