Short description
The dynamic Homfinder was created to search and visualize Databases. As the name implies the first use case scenario was a Home finding application, where the user was able to find real estates, by adjusting graphical widgets (sliders, ...).
Advantages using dynamic Homfinder
- Continuous update of the query results
- Fully visual interface (no query language needed)
- Reversible operations
- Immediate results
- almost no training needed
Disadvantages using dynamic Homefinder
- complex dynamic Queries need a lot of screen real estate
- underlying data structures need to support rapid querying
Suitable Datatypes
- data should be graphical representable
- slider widgets rely on numeric data
Interaction
- multiple slider interface
- buttons
- dynamic map display that displays house location
- single view
