Abstract

We constantly run into complex decisions to make (e.g., such as buying a car) in daily lives. There are so many candidates and attributes to consider. However, we do not have proper tool to make sense of these complex data before making informed decisions. Using a magnet metaphor, Dust & Magnet visualizes this kind of complex data set in an easy-to-understand way.
