Abstract: The “stuff” of modern social science is data, but museums are often ill- equipped to allow visitors to appreciate and explore data as an “artifact” of science. Interpreting data visualizations can include both the ability to detect patterns and the ability to hypothesize possible causal mechanisms that would produce such patterns. We are utilizing embodied interaction as a means of augmenting visitors’ personal connection with a data subset in an effort to promote shared curiosity and hypothesis generation as multiple visitors explore the data collaboratively. Here we share initial findings of the impacts of embodiment on visitors’ sense-making around the display.
