Abstract
This paper investigates how the edges of a limited size 3D virtual world model can be visualized. We compared five alternative visualization techniques by conducting downloading, post-processing and rendering measurements and evaluating the designs with a user study. Recommendations for UI designers working especially in the mobile computing domain are presented.
