> Whom at universities do you wish to sell to? Who do you see using this? I see it being used as a pedagogical aid for professors. I've run into some research demonstrating the efficacy of these kinds of visualizations for CS education, but their conclusion was that they are too expensive to produce. I make them cheaper by providing a general purpose platform for algorithm visualization, where you get visualizations just by writing the code like you normally do. > but I expect that it would be an exasperating market to sell to. That's kinda what I was thinking :/ I'll try to get some more data since this post didn't really take off—but it looks like I'll probably try a different direction to begin with... Thanks for the info.!

> I see it being used as a pedagogical aid for professors. This is, unfortunately, likely to be difficult. The pots of money that professors typically have at their discretion is usually for research, and comes from grant funding (e.g. the National Science Foundation). Although most professors do care about teaching, they aren't likely to spend much in this instance. Wish it weren't so, but that's how the incentives typically line up. I hope I'm wrong!
