Abstract
We present resources2city Explorer (R2CE), a tool for representing file systems as interactive, walkable virtual cities. R2CE visualizes file systems based on concepts of spatial, 3D information processing. For this purpose, it extends the range of functions of conventional file browsers considerably. Visual elements in a city generated by R2CE represent (relations of) objects of the underlying file system. The paper describes the functional spectrum of R2CE and illustrates it by visualizing a sample of 940 files.
我们提出了resources2city Explorer (R2CE),这是一个将文件系统表示为交互式、可步行的虚拟城市的工具。R2CE可视化文件系统基于空间,三维信息处理的概念。为此,它大大扩展了传统文件浏览器的功能范围。R2CE生成的城市中的可视元素表示底层文件系统的对象(关系)。本文描述了R2CE的功能谱,并通过940个文件的可视化示例进行了说明。
