Current approaches toward
digital spaces mainly mimic the physical space that surrounds us.While this
approach is valid in a wide range of applications and research,the goal of this
thesis is to propose an alternative approach towards digital space based on
principles of vision and memory to provide a theoretical framework for the development
of a model for accessing and
influence and expand the space they view.This involves the definition of a visual
language,defini- tion of the space model and multi-user relations.Techniques
proposed in this thesis are gaze tracking to map the point of attention and
the programming of visual interfaces that respond dynamically to user input.

moni- toring information..The
core idea is to incorporate the principle of dynamic reaction of the space
model to the point of attention of the user through methodically scaling the
level of detail.The
intention behind the creation of such a model is to enhance the communication
between the information and the user as well as
to allow multiple users to collectively
