The document proposes a 3D real-time data visualization interface that represents meaningful patterns in data through frequently used words on 3D shapes and adjectives describing the words on the slopes. This allows users to easily understand patterns in one glance by seeing important data and word context visually represented. The 3D interface responds to real-time data updates and provides a novel way to understand changing relationships between words.
1. Graph Data Structure
A graph is a pictorial representation of a set of objects where some pairs of objects are connected by links. The interconnected objects are represented by points termed as vertices, and the links that connect the vertices are called edges.
Formally, a graph is a pair of sets (V, E), where V is the set of vertices and Eis the set of edges, connecting the pairs of vertices. Take a look at the following graph
V = {a, b, c, d, e}
E = {ab, ac, bd, cd, de}

The Color of Money - Priortization of User TasksLen Conte
When migrating functionality from one platform to another (desktop to mobile) it can be difficult to understand which functionality should be the primary focus of initial release. We used the front-end of the CARD method (called the Big Picture) to gather tasks and affinitize them. We asked user surrogates to write down alll the tasks one per index card. We affinitized them in a collaborative session. We then went thru a validation and priotization exercise with a 10-12 customers (in the same room). We walked thru the tasks and had customers add/change/move the cards from the affinitization. We then prioritized tasks by importance and frequency. Finally we gave each customer 10 , $100 bills and had them pin their money to the tasks they felt we should migrate first. we then analyed the results in a grid using both priortization and dollars spent.

To create great design you need to understand how your users do their work. You can do that using CARD, a collaborative method that gets your team on the same page about your user's workflow. Apply it to desktop, web, or mobile apps. New to task analysis? Looking for new ways to collaborate with your developers? Or variations you can use with your work? This method is for you!

2. A 3D Real-time data visualizing interface that allows users to understand data
easily by finding meaningful patterns. These patterns are represented through
the most frequently used words on the nodes of 3D shapes and the adjectives
describing the words are shown on the slope of the shapes. This way, the user
can see important data in one glance and understand the context of the words.
3. Why 3D ?
- This is not a static 3D model. It responds to real-time data.
- A good way to represent relative importance between words and helpful
to understand its context
- A new way of representing data. Visually interesting.

This form keeps changing its shape according to data.

This generate shape also keeps changing its form corresponding to real – time data.

11. Adjectives describing the frequently used words are placed each side of the slopes
ex) A: A-a, A-b, A-c, A-d / B: B-a, B-b, B-c / C: C-a, C-b, C-c..
B-b C
B-a B-c
A-b
A-c
D
A-a
E
A-d
12. Every slope keeps updating its position corresponding to real-time data
