| Abstract | abstract How does a parent choose the best school for their child? Dust is an ongoing research project developed for Iridescent, an American NGO. The project's aim is to provide a freely available, web based information visual-ization tool that supports parents in exploring and comparing the educational offerings (from Pre-K to High School) from selected major cities in the United States, currently: New York, Los Angeles, and the San Francisco Bay Area. By leveraging a step-by-step decision making process, Dust helps to evaluate and compare school profiles based on multidimensional data-sets composed of general information (e. maps and close-up visualizations users can create custom profiles based on their needs and priorities and then perform a search for the most appropriate schools for their children. Dust aims to combine the capability of information visualization in depicting synthetic views of complex, multidimensional, and georeferenced data; with a rich, yet intuitive, web-user experience. The project aims to move away from a " by experts, for experts " design paradigm to a schools comparison information visualization " for the people "-providing real impact on their daily life, and future prospects, through improved choices. |
