The LG site is using something called an attribute explorer, devised by Robert Spence at Imperial College here in the UK around 15 years ago. (I attended a session on information visualization at CHI in the mid 90's where Ben Schneiderman did a section on it). I keep wondering why no one is using it effectively (Amazon's diamond selector at http://www.amazon.com/Loose-Diamonds-Diamond-Engagement-Rings/loosediamo nds?_encoding=UTF8&productGroupID=loose_diamonds is half-hearted since it does not show the result in real time). The LG implementation is a great improvement.
There is an IBM demo of attribute explorer here: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/us-atex/ Regards, William Hudson Syntagm Ltd Design for Usability UK 01235-522859 World +44-1235-522859 US Toll Free 1-866-SYNTAGM mailto:william.hud...@syntagm.co.uk http://www.syntagm.co.uk skype:williamhudsonskype Syntagm is a limited company registered in England and Wales (1985).
