Brand Communities takes market survey data from multiple sources and allows an operator to extract meaningful correlations between them. This is a GUI-focused project using high-performance graphics, animations, multi-axis three dimensional plotting and real-time locus tracing. My role in this project involves the specification and implementation of GUI design and the development of algorithms (esp. graph layout and n-dimensional plotting). This is the prototype development for a product targeted at some of the largest manufacturers and service providers. As such it uses advanced features of Qt, such as animations and MVC delegates and has a high degree of sophistication and user interaction.
