Yes, I like how this is is categorized, but I don't know if I like how the restaurants are displayed. I'm looking for an alternative to just have the filtered restaurants listed out in the main content div.
In the long run, I'd like to have users input their favorite / least favorite items at each eatery. Based on that, a program within the exhibit can make reccomendations as to where the next user should go. For example, if a user searched for "egg," the program should (based on previous user inputs) should recommend an egg sandwich at laverdes before dunkin donuts (because I believe the sandwhiches at laverdes is superior to that at dunkin donuts). The program can also take time into account. EX. if user wanted an egg dish at 1pm, the program would filter out an egg burrito at anna's because they stop serving that at 11:30am. I think I would like my exhibit to list 3 of the most popular options rather than all the options. That way, I would have more space on the screen to make a nice visual display. Of course, I would also include a link to see other options if the user wants that. -Rob On Jun 2, 1:24 am, David Karger <[email protected]> wrote: > David Huynh wrote: > > Rob wrote: > > >> Hey, > > >> I am in the process of creating an exhibit which highlights all the > >> eateries on the MIT campus.
