Abstract

WebAware is a system that makes information about web site traffic available in a public space. The information is presented in a dynamic visualization, which is based on a map of the web site and designed to give an overview of how the site is constructed. Information about activity, such as the number of visitors and which area of the web site is most popular, is continuously reflected on the display. The application is designed to be shown on a wall-mounted public screen. Initial evaluations show that WebAware can act as an aesthetically pleasing information display, as well as a nice conversation piece.
