This study investigates how sensory interaction design enhances soil education through multi-sensory elements like touch, visuals, and sound in an interactive installation. By fostering public engagement and emotional connection, this approach makes complex soil data more accessible. Usability testing evaluates engagement, comprehension, and educational impact through real-time feedback and user experience assessments.
