This paper proposes a new concept and mechanism for
the user and content interaction between multiple spaces in
a 3D virtual environment. We introduce two types of visual
components; a flat, window-like WorldMirror, and a volumetric
WorldBottle. These components embed other spaces
inside and render them on their surface, so that users can
look into the contents of other spaces from their current
working one and choose to enter. They also allow content
manipulation in embedded spaces from the current space.
Users can move an object from an embedded space to the
current working space, or drop an object from the current
space into an embedded space. In contrast to conventional
approaches, the proposed mechanism enables us not only
to define a spatial connection between different spaces, but
also to define a functional linkage among components in
different spaces.
