Dynamic Queries 3
The dynamic queries interface (Figure 2) provides a
visualization of both the query formulation and corresponding
results. This application was built using the C programming language.
A map of the District of Columbia area is displayed on the left. The
homes that fulfill the criteria set by the user’s current query are shown
as yellow dots on the map. Users perform queries, using the mouse,
by setting the values of the sliders and buttons in the control panel to
the right. The query result is determined by ANDing all sliders and
buttons.
The dynamic homefinder interface is best explained through
an example. Take a hypothetical situation where a new professor,
Dr. Jones, has just been hired by the Umversity of Maryland. She
might encounter this tool in a touchscreen kiosk at a real-estate office
or at the student union. She selects the location where she will be
working by dragging the ‘A’ on the map. Next. she selects where her
husband will be working. downtown, near the capitol, by dragging
the ‘B’. Figure 2 shows the interface after Dr. Jones has dragged the
‘A’ and ‘B’ indicators to her desired locations (the indicators are
more visible in Figure 4).
