1. cyberspace
1. Notional ‘information-space’ loaded with visual cues
and navigable with brain-computer interfaces called cyberspace decks; a characteristic prop of
cyberpunk SF. Serious efforts to construct
virtual reality interfaces modeled explicitly on
Gibsonian cyberspace are under way, using more conventional devices such as
glove sensors and binocular TV headsets. Few hackers are prepared to deny
outright the possibility of a cyberspace someday evolving out of the
network (see the network). 2. The Internet or Matrix (sense #2) as a
whole, considered as a crude cyberspace (sense 1). Although this usage
became widely popular in the mainstream press during 1994 when the Internet
exploded into public awareness, it is strongly deprecated among hackers
because the Internet does not meet the high, SF-inspired standards they
have for true cyberspace technology. Thus, this use of the term usually
tags a wannabee or outsider. Oppose
meatspace. 3. Occasionally, the metaphoric location of the mind of a person in
hack mode. Some hackers report experiencing strong
synesthetic imagery when in hack mode; interestingly, independent reports
from multiple sources suggest that there are common features to the
experience. In particular, the dominant colors of this subjective
cyberspace are often gray and silver,
and the imagery often involves constellations of marching dots, elaborate
shifting patterns of lines and angles, or moire patterns.
