A Fast Focus+Context Viewing Technique for Web Navigation

摘要

Most web browsers do not give users a proper visual aid to guide their web journey. One of the approaches to overcome this problem is to use graphs and trees visualization. This paper presents a simple and fast focus+context technique for the navigation of web sites. We firstly give an overview of existing visualization techniques for web navigation. We then briefly present the hierarchical layout techniques as well as its advantages and limitations. We finally describe our focus+context technique for the navigation of hierarchical web structures.
