Couple’s Compatibility Midpoint Presentation Noaa Avital Katy Harrison Sharena Paripatyadar
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
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
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
Top Visualizations • 1-4 Dimensions Sliders with Whiskers Sliders without Whiskers Bar Graph Very Compat. Very Incompat.
Top Visualizations • 5-8 Dimensions Radial Graph Line Graph Sliders without Whiskers
Top Visualizations • 9-20 Dimensions Heat Maps Radial Graphs Line Graphs
Didn’t Make the Cut Scatter Plots Heart Sliders Meters
Didn’t Make the Cut Heart Meters Face/Scene Halves Circle-Halves Color Comparisons
User Testing • Tested users from various backgrounds • Engineering, business, IB, physics, english • 10 Trials of Comparing Two Graphs • User chooses better match Trial 5 A B
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
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
The Code So Far • Only number of dimensions and generated image • Couple's Compatibility Website
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
