The informational technology inspired by spatial components plugs the urban citizen as an involved user into an aparallel augmented reality era, combining city infrastructure and desktop interfaces. Which are the spatial components that are embedded in informational systems?

What is the identity of the contemporary citizen? How the user tracking shapes the non-hierarchical interface? Using the scale of linear space as a dynamic element it is provided an anthropocentric method analyzing the applets of design process, morphing desktop interfaces, building technology and city infrastructure. What is the role of the network?

How can be used in order to provide new patterns of interaction in this global era?

The Desktop Interfaces, the Architectural Design Process and the City Infrastructure are the applets of an urban network. They help metropolitan citizens to gain the experience of living in a global era. Moreover, they influence the decision in urban planning projects. Crucial remains the method of the scale for keeping the citizen as a part of a system. Otherwise, the citizen prefers to continue a virtual tour in online social communities uploading and downloading urban experience.
