A survey of existing Web visualization techniques suggested a taxonomy, which divides the techniques into four categories: distortion, three-dimensional layout, zoom, and expanding outline. This study tested three classes of visualization techniques (distortion, zoom, and expanding outline) to better understand which visualization techniques may better represent the underlying structure. The effects of different visualization techniques on user performance on information searching tasks, and the effects of different sizes of the Web spaces were studied. User mental models induced by different Web visualizations were also examined. |
