Abstract
There is a class of complex problems where solutions
must satisfy multiple subjective criteria, while meeting
specific quantifiable constraints. Route planning for
leisurely travel is an example of a problem in this class,
where constraints including total available time, transit
times, and budget constraints determine whether a
potential solution is acceptable to the prospective
traveller. In this paper we present an interface that
leverages, metaphorically, the elastic properties of a
rubber band to allow playful interaction with relevant
constraints. The resulting touch-based human computer
interface enables the traveller to explore the solution
space in the sense that constraints can be played with in
order to find a route that meets the traveller’s subjective
preferences. Formal step-by-step evaluation with nine
subjects confirms that leveraging the rubber band
metaphor is useful in constraint satisfaction and that using
the interface is intuitive since it leverages real-world
experiences.
