Although it performs an increasingly important role in our lives, the home network remains a bit of a mystery when end users wish to know what is “happening on the inside.” This article introduces Homenet3D, an open source project that allows users to view their home network’s state as objects in 3D space within a web browser window. Homenet3D maps quantitative state to the shape, size, spin, bounce, and/or color of selected objects to qualitatively communicate what is happening on the network. We describe our Homenet3D implementation for routers running OpenWRT, and discuss the potential for visualizing multirouter/ multi-subnet home networks.
