Artificial reality is used to simulate two different kinds of space. One is the physical world. The other is a conceptual data model. A head mounted display can simulate the former. In this paper, we propose a system, Information Detective , to simulate the latter. Information Detective is a workstation for browsing complex information spaces. It consists of a small flat display and two tracking sensors. It behaves like a magnifying glass in three dimensional space and can show object details in a natural way. It is being developed to keep users from losing themselves in large and complex information spaces.
