The purpose of this project is to develop a web-based application for visualizing complex travel itineraries by combining spatial interfaces (through the use of maps) and temporal interfaces (through the use of timelines and calendars). To determine the most effective methods of integrating these data representations, I will perform user testing in the form of a think-aloud study. Using these results, will evaluate the effectiveness of my design in the context of completing important tasks, and gain insights into how to better cater the product to its audience. The result of this project will be a publicly accessible web platform for planning and visualizing complex travel itineraries, which will be made open source.
