One of the more interesting actions in visual interfaces is the ability to drag an object and drop it on a selected target. Pretty much like what we do in real life at the supermarket. Grab a beer – drag to cart – drop it in the cart. But there are attributes in the product that it would be interesting to unveil in an application.
