History

This project was originally developed in June/July 2011 for the Freiburger Wissenschaftsmarkt (Freiburg Science Fair).

In 2012 it was overhauled for the participation in the MPE 2013 competition. Especially the user interface was redesigned for a natural experience on touch screen monitors.
