1. Couple’s Compatibility Midpoint Presentation Noaa Avital Katy Harrison Sharena Paripatyadar

2. The Problem Online matching services have many matches for every person No simple way of seeing your compatibility with a match Difficult to compare matches Each site offers different dimensions Pages upon pages of reading material

3. Our Project Building a system that creates a visualization for the compatibility of two people based on compatibility dimensions Visualization modified based on the best fit to the criteria used for compatibility matching Easy to compare multiple matches

4. The Process Created 3 Categories: –1-4 Dimensions –5-8 Dimensions –9-20 Dimensions Brainstormed/prototyped 12 ideas for visualization of matches Narrowed down to top 6 for user testing

5. Top Visualizations 1-4 Dimensions Bar Graph Sliders with Whiskers Sliders without Whiskers Very Compat.Very Incompat.

6. Top Visualizations 5-8 Dimensions Line Graph Sliders without Whiskers Radial Graph

7. Top Visualizations Heat Maps 9-20 Dimensions Line Graphs Radial Graphs

8. Didn’t Make the Cut Meters Scatter Plots Heart Sliders

9. Didn’t Make the Cut Circle-Halves Color Comparisons Heart Meters Face/Scene Halves

10. User Testing Tested users from various backgrounds –Engineering, business, IB, physics, english 10 Trials of Comparing Two Graphs –User chooses better match Trial 5 AB

11. Data Analysis Data Used for Decision –How user picked match –Liked/Disliked (Ease) –Time –Number correct Results –1-4: Sliders without Whiskers –5-8: Radial Graph –9-20: Radial Graph

12. Implementation Web Interface Inputs –Number of dimensions –Dimension name and values –Range of results (Good/Med/Bad) –Enter Person A’s results –Enter Person B’s results Appropriate Image Generated Uses Processing Java Applet/HTML

13. The Code So Far Only number of dimensions and generated image Couple's Compatibility Website

14. The Plan Implementation of: –Remaining web interaction –Mapping function for results –9-20 graphs –Zooming (Radial) Possible Features –Handling of 21+ dimensions –Comparison of 2+ people
