Query: Sea of Genes: Combining Animation and Narrative Strategies to Visualize
  Metagenomic Data for Museums   We examine the application of narrative strategies to present a complex and
unfamiliar metagenomics dataset to the public in a science museum. Our dataset
contains information about microbial gene expressions that scientists use to
infer the behavior of microbes. This exhibit had three goals: to inform (the)
public about microbes' behavior, cycles, and patterns; to link their behavior
to the concept of gene expression; and to highlight scientists' use of gene
expression data to understand the role of microbes. To address these three
goals, we created a visualization with three narrative layers, each layer
corresponding to a goal. This study presented us with an opportunity to assess
existing frameworks for narrative visualization in a naturalistic setting. We
present three successive rounds of design and evaluation of our attempts to
engage visitors with complex data through narrative visualization. We highlight
our design choices and their underlying rationale based on extant theories. We
conclude that a central animation based on a curated dataset could successfully
achieve our first goal, i.e., to communicate the aggregate behavior and
interactions of microbes. We failed to achieve our second goal and had limited
success with the third goal. Overall, this study highlights the challenges of
telling multi-layered stories and the need for new frameworks for communicating
layered stories in public settings.
