/si:'ber-spays/ 1. (Coined by William Gibson)
Notional "information-space" loaded with visual cues and
navigable with brain-computer interfaces called "cyberspace
decks"; a characteristic prop of cyberpunk SF. In 1991
serious efforts to construct virtual reality interfaces
modelled explicitly on Gibsonian cyberspace were already 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 network, the).
2. Occasionally, the metaphoric location of the mind of a
person in hack mode. Some hackers report experiencing
strong eidetic imagery when in hack mode; interestingly,
independent reports from multiple sources suggest that there
are common features to the experience. In particular, the
dominant colours of this subjective "cyberspace" are often
grey and silver, and the imagery often involves constellations
of marching dots, elaborate shifting patterns of lines and
angles, or moire patterns.

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.
