This paper proposes an original model of the visual information retrieval interface (VIRI), aimed at websites described by metadata. The paper also describes the development of an experimental prototype based on the proposed model. The applied methodology for the prototype's development is a combination of three methods: Metadata mining, Multidimen-sional scaling (MDS), and a Focus+Context technique called Fisheye. Finally, a user test is conducted, whose results suggest that the proposed model of VIRI is useful for information browsing and retrieval, and is satisfying for the end-user as well.
