click to open a JAVA applet *for Online User only









Web Hopper (*1) is an interWeb site that enables you to visualize your Web hopping and that of other Net users (*2). The interface shows your trail crossing the world as a red line and those of other users as blue lines (*3).

Notes:
*Dec. 25,1996 : Now we continue to develop the Web Hopper's program. Some of the following is not available yet. Thank you for your understanding.

(*1) To enjoy this JAVA applet page, you need higher versions than Netscape 3.0 or Internet Explorer 3.0.
(*2) The map data takes a few minutes to load -- dependent upon your connection speed -- because of the JAVA applets. After loading, the access speed of the Web hopping trail will be slower for Macintosh users.
(*3) The trails show viewers Web hopping from domestic IWE circuits to overseas ones and vice versa. Viewers who use other networks are not shown on this site. If you use other networks and want to show your trails here, please try the following:

    1. Choose Proxy from the Option pull-down menu of Internet Explorer or Network Preferences in Netscape, and enter "sensorium.expo96.ad.jp" at the http Proxy cell and "3128" at the Port cell, then save.

    2. Reload the page, and click the link. The JAVA applet window will be shown again.
When you finish enjoying the Web Hopper, return all options and preferences to their original status. Otherwise, communications could be obstructed.
(*4) The blue lines do not show up in all http packets. Excess information will be omitted owing to a programming load problem. Web Hopper circuits are a part of the IWE backbone. The http traffic is normally transferred at about 1,000 packets/second.
(*5) If you are in the Firewall, you cannot enjoy the Web Hopper because the JAVA applets receive information about longitude/latitude from the server via the socket. Try to connect your socket to port80, sensorium.expo96.ad.jp.
