Abstract: Existing commercial Web browsers provide various utilities and functions, e.g., Web bookmarks and a browsing history list. Since the bookmark and history functions only the title and URL of the Web page, users who cannot remember the contents of each Web page have difficulty retracing their steps. In this paper, we propose a bookmark system based on a 3D interface. Additionally, our system offers three main functions a 3D browsing history function, a marker function, and a look-ahead loading function. These functions enable users to browse Web pages more effectively.
