Aiming for “total market transparency,” ShoppingPath plans to revolutionize online shopping visualization with a new model of product comparison tool that graphically groups products according to their price and features.

Shoppers can compare over 50 products within a category at once. Tweak any selection criterion and the results appear nearly instantly, without page refreshing.

The Y axis shows price. The X axis shows performance within a certain spec, such as battery life or resolution.

It sounds simple, but it’s light years ahead of the standard static list.

Currently in Alpha and Firefox only, Shopping Path has great potential, and welcomes user feedback.
