Browsing 3D bookmarks in BED

We show a practical use of VRML (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) to represent a portion of the web in 3D. Some issues of abstract data space visualization are addressed and a few propositions that improve navigation and legibility are made. BED (Bookmarks Exploring Dabbler) 3D bookmark generator is based on VRML version 1.0; therefore, only static scenes can be created. The interaction in such scenes is limited to navigation and link selection, there is no way to manipulate objects and modify the scene
