Spiral Zoom Human Hand 2008 Formative Evaluation

Formative evaluation for the Nanoscale Informal Science Education Network.

DESCRIPTION

This report documents two formative evaluations on an interactive media piece that allows its users to zoom in from a human hand to an atom. This zoom uses a spiral to connote zooming and is a departure from a more conventional zoom in which each successive image is a magnification of a portion of the preceding image.
