Design considerations for a seasonal constellation planetarium program: Comparison of embodied design and computer visualizations
We compared two planetarium programs, one using embodied design principles—drawing on how humans naturally perceive and interact with the physical world—and one using a traditional approach, each addressing the Sun’s daily motion, the nightly motion of the constellations, and the seasonal movement of the constellations. Participants (n=29 for the embodied program, n=19 for the traditional program) were interviewed before and after the shows to measure change in explanations. After qualitatively coding the interviews, numerical values were assigned to the codes allowing us to statistically tests compare the outcomes. While no significant differences in learning were found between the traditional and embodied programs, participants showed significant improvement in almost all of the concepts after both program types.
