This paper proposes a tool to visualize the dynamic and temporal information of ego-network. The primary goal of this tool is to support the study of the exploratory pattern for cross domains. For instance, how the ego-network change among time to the relationship with personal health? The contribution lay in three layers: 1) macroscopic: summarize the entire ego-network; 2) mesoscopic: overviewing particular individuals' ego-network evolution; 3) microscopic: displaying detailed temporal information of egos and their alters.
The visualization idea may come from different discipline, e.g. the sociology research may focus on more social interaction with developed social theory. It may be a great contribution to design such a tool to help them better facilitate, utilize and digest the generated data.
