The station also includes an information poster measuring six feet by three feet (shown below). The poster illustrates a large blood vessel, and defines some basic principles and characteristics of the human circulatory system and issues related to sickle cell disease, including four types of blood cells, the shape and stiffness of sickle cells, and the cause of pain from sickle cells. This information is intended to build the understanding of blood by complementing the tangible and virtual materials and provide a written version of the information we are trying to share. For consistency, I generated the image of the blood vessel from the same Blender model used in the video application discussed in the previous section.
This poster contains text descriptions of sickle cell disease, the effects on the red blood cells and their hemoglobin, and short detail on treatments. It should be noted that this information is not described in either of the tablet applications.
