Abstract
A system creates and shows a display that simulates the websites during a visit, the flow of the visit and the pace of the visit. The system includes a web analytics tool, a data storage, a focus group module and a virtual focus group user interface module. The focus group module interacts with the web analytics tool to extract information related to a particular visit by a visitor. The virtual focus group user interface module creates a user interface that presents a depiction of each website visited and displays those depictions to the user at a pace similar to the visitor's actual interaction with the websites. The user interface also includes input mechanisms to select a particular portion of the visit, modify the pace at which the depictions are presented, find similar visits, as well as other functionality.
