Hi all,

Maybe this is obvious and I've been staring at this document too long! I am
running low on descriptors.

I'm looking for a formal term that describes when a person "gets" the
exhibit interactive.

I'm trying to say that given the context of the exhibits, there is a strong
need for "ease-of-successful interaction" or engagement (translation: can't
be too subtle or complex given the 'hood).

Any ideas? Thank you in advance!
