Città della Scienza
Napoli, Italy

Through a touch interface the visitor is asked to enter 6 physical characters (sex, eye color, hair color, shape of the ear lobe, skin color, etc.) which are compared with those of other previous visitors ). When the visitor has completed the insertion, his characters are transformed into a colored ball based on his characteristics. The ball moves to a projection screen adjacent to be part of an interactive cloud, initially equipped with its own movement. When the visitor approaches the screen to better observe it, he realizes that the cloud moves (activated by an infrared sensor) and turns into the shape of the visitor, repeating all his movements. As an in-depth analysis of the experience, a multimedia program allows you to make successive enlargements of images of the parts of the body mentioned before, up to the DNA and see where the genetic information relating to that phenotypic characteristic is contained. Furthermore, it will be possible to study concepts such as the probability and frequency of certain characters in an individual or in the population.
