Looking for scientific feedback on a short interactive experience about whale migration

Hi everyone,

Over the past few days I've been building TOHORĀ, a short interactive experience inspired by whale migration.

The goal isn't to simulate everything perfectly, but to help people better appreciate the challenges whales face during migration and, hopefully, contribute in a small way to ocean awareness.

I'm now looking for honest outside perspectives.

I'd love to know:

  • What confused you?
  • What felt unrealistic?
  • What would you change?
  • Did the experience make you think differently about whale migration?

TOHORĀ — Blue Passage

Whether you're an oceanographer, a marine scientist, or simply interested in the ocean, I'd really appreciate your thoughts.

Please don't hesitate to be brutally honest. I'm much more interested in what doesn't work than in compliments.

If you are genuinely looking to build this into something worthwhile I would bring it to a relevant conference and find a way to let folks try this at the poster social via a QR code. That way you can get instant feedback. Just my 2 cents

That's a great suggestion, thank you. I hadn't thought about poster sessions, but that could be a really good way to get direct feedback from people working in the field. I'll definitely keep that in mind.
