This chapter examines the morphology of space in virtual heritage and looks at one of the major disappointments in virtual heritage: That an algorithmically accurate large-scale three-dimensional model of a cathedral or castle is considered the hallmark of authenticity, and that reducing the monument or artifact to visual simulation disrupts its link to material evidence, and hence to history. When art is disconnected from ritual and magic, it loses its aura. Evoking the presence of the past relies on a different treatment of the space that generates cultural and social presence. The chapter shows that heritage is restored not only as a spatial representation onscreen, but also as a place for habitation—as a kinaesthetic sense of presence in the past. It also considers virtual heritage as individualized trajectories of memory and the movement of a body in virtual space.
