Abstract
A user interface for facilitating a decision making process, such as planning a trip. A unified view of various types of information related to an event may be provided. The unified view may be presented in a simulated three-dimensional environment having different types of information depicted on different windows. Different types of information related to a common event may be visually linked. A window showing a articular type of information may be brought into a focus view for closer inspection by a user. Alternative decisions may be depicted to permit vagueness or uncertainty, particularly at early iterations in the decision making process.

20. A user interface that facilitates decision making, comprising:
-
means for receiving an aspirational event;
means for rendering a multi-dimensional object;
means for obtaining one or more information associated with the aspirational event;
means for projecting the aspirational event and the one or more information associated with the aspirational event onto a plurality of planes that comprise the multi-dimensional object; and
means for associating a non-occluding visible ray with the aspirational event and the one or more information projected onto the plurality of planes that comprises the multi-dimensional object.
