WHATSPACE.ORG – Virtual space is an immersive space, which is an artificial environment created by a computer that can be entered by a person, with the help of various devices. Virtual space is also considered a spatio-temporal “arena” where mental models or abstract constructions of the world can be given virtual (visual and aural) embodiment in three dimensions and moved through time.
