Stacks/Servers
In early libraries, with small numbers of volumes, books had lined the walls of the reading room. Later, as the ratio of book storage to reading space changed, the book stacks were separated from the reading rooms and increasingly became the dominant spatial element.

Galleries/Virtual Museums
Each item in the collection can have hyperlinks to other items that are related in some interesting way, so that the virtual museum visitor can construct a particular path through the collection according to personal interest. A vitrual museum can offer far more choices of exploration than even the Pinakothek. (The Alte Pinakothek, Munich, by Leo von Klenze, 1826-1836)

Theaters/Entertainment Infrastructure
Entertainment is information. (...) If you receive three-dimensional models of a sporting event rather than a stream of two-dimensional video images, you could take control of some directorial functions by selecting viewpoints and operating a virtual camera.
