User Testable HTML Representation of John Travoltage (Jan - Mar 2016)

The goal is to be able to test an HTML equivalent of the John Travoltage sim with users and get feedback on:

  • Usefulness of static and dynamic descriptions.

  • Ease of use of the slider interface.

There will not be any sonification currently, but maybe for 2nd round of user testing.
