-1- The start window (Search engine query)
-2- The results are displayed on two windows. 1 applet window handle the links and one browser window display the web pages
-3- The result set is mapped onto a space which can be deformed (hyperbolic or fisheye view)
-4- An other view : the cylinder
-5- An other view : the hill view
Features
Mapping of the results on a 2D space.
6 differents deformations by fisheye or hyperbolic views (integrated focus + context)
6 navigation tools using the mouse (long click, drag&drop, scrollbars and navigation
buttons ) or the keyboard (arrows, direct mapping between keyboard space and information space)
"Save" and "Load" information space to return later
Opinion sharing about results (5 possible opinions for each visited page and histograms of other opinions)
To do
Mixing several search engine results
Improving HTML parser to extract more informations about the results (nb images, links, etc.)
Display a filtered version of the result instaed of the real result (set bold the keywords, etc.)
Edition of the information space (delete, add and refresh a result)
