Abstract

This paper describes a design of Web browser with a navigation tool to find out visually other user’s interests in a collection of WWW information. This is accomplished by visualizing the hyperlinks in a homepage as a graph in three dimensional hyper space. This navigation tool is incorporated into this browser, named HomepageMap. Functions of HomepageMap are realized by extending our WebMap[1]. In this paper, we will describe the system overview and an experiment so as to evaluate our proposed navigation tool
