Author(s)

Abstract

VISVIP allows website developers to visualize the paths taken through a website by the subjects of usability experiments. The user can dynamically customize and simplify the graphical layout of the website, and select which subjects paths to view. The user can also control an animated representation of a subject s progress through the website. The third dimension of the 3D display is used to represent the time spent on each page visit. The graph layout provided by VISVIP can be governed by either the website topology or by the structure of the subject s path.
