A Fast Focus+Context Viewing Technique for Web Navigation

Most web browsersdo not give users a proper visualcUdto guidetheir webjourney. One of the approachesto overcomethis problem is to use graphs and trees visualiuztion. This paper presents a simple and fast focuswconsea techniquefor the navigationof web sites. We firstly give an overviewof existingvisualization techniquesfor web navigation.We tMn briefly presentthe hierarchicallayour techniquesas well as its advantages and limitations. We finally describe our focus-consex: techniquefor the navigationof hierarchicalwebstructures.
