Browser at Target Site

After a Surf3D agent run is completed, or even during an agent search before it is finished, you can generate an HTML report at the click of a button. The report can open with a header showing some basic settings for the agent and report, and provide you with search hit results information. This can include metric values for the page hit, text extracts, pictures, and links to now offline or still online web files and documents. From the report you can click on any hit link and open your offline database or jump online to visit the original web page where the text and media was found.

You can point and click on any 3D node or bar or pyramid. Different sized nodes or bar height can indicate a web page with more hits of preferred keywords you have typed into the Metric channels lines.

Displays are animated, and you can zoom into a 3D network, rotate it on multiple axes, center the rotation on a single focus node, or fly through the network fight simulator style if you like.

Each agent module can store up to 8 different preset views, which you can easily modify using the the Display Controls and then save your own preferred views. This lets you tune the display information to accent what you are looking for. The example (still) display above, is animated when using the software, and has projected a 3D network view onto a 2D floor and then generated elevation bars to indicate keyword counts for the web pages Surf3D has examined.
