Ocean track is our exhibit prototype that encourages museum visitors to learn about marine animal behaviors through interactive data visualization. The goal is to have visitors draw comparisons between animal behaviors, similarly to how scientists would, to make insights and discoveries. We have designed a set of visual encodings around the TOPP data set to create the appropriate abstractions of this complex field data. We have incorporated Multiple External Representations and TUIs to provide a complementary representation of the data and promote self-learning.
