mSpace is an interaction model to help explore relationships in information. It is a research project developed by the School of Electronics & Computer Science (ECS) at the University of Southampton.

mSpace combinds the use of information semantics and a flexible UI interface. It allows users to explore new information that they only have limited knowledge about. One problem that the mSpace project tries to address is the following:

What if you want to find something from an domain where you have a general interest but not specific knowledge? How would you find classical music you might enjoy if you don’t know what Beethoven or Berlioz sounds like? What a Sonata is? The difference between Baroque or Romantic? What do you type into Google?

You can find mSpace technical reports and demo apps here.
