Abstract

The CVP Cyberspace Visualization Project addresses interactive overview visualizations of Web spaces for enhancing orientation, navigation and communication when browsing or searching the WWW. This paper presents a collection of requirements which such visualizations should fulfil. An algorithm is described generating recognizable, hierarchically structured views of interconnected Web objects. The CVP is outlined as improving current tools for Web navigation and communication. It combines 3D overviews with the mutual representation of users, providing first steps towards the Web browsers of the next generation
