Redefine the standard : design for the transforming World Wide Web

Elements within the physical space are transformed through natural processes that change their properties over time. These transformations are part of our everyday experiences that are often informative, influential or controversial. We are increasingly replacing interactions of the physical space to the Web, possibly losing opportunities for experiencing subtleties within these physical transformations. The goal of the thesis is to develop, understand and evaluate a framework for defining transformations on the Web; and establish a guideline to inspire visual and software design on the Web to leverage their socially influenced, time-based behavior.
