A method of communicating information through a user platform, the method comprising: representing, on a user platform visual display, each of a plurality of spatial publishing objects (110, 810) as an entity at a location within a first three-dimensional spatial publishing object space, each of the represented spatial publishing objects (110, 810) associated with information, and each representation presenting a subset of the associated information; and establishing a user presence at a user spatial publishing object within the first three-dimensional spatial publishing object space, the user presence, in conjunction with a user point-of-view that is coincident with the user presence, being navigable by the user in at least a two-dimensional sub-space of the first three-dimensional spatial publishing object space, wherein the user presence in the first three-dimensional spatial publishing object space is separable from the user point-of-view in the first three-dimensional spatial publishing object space, wherein at least a further one of the spatial publishing objects (110, 810) is associated with at least one spatial publishing object two-way communication channel adapted for connection with a two-way communication channel of the user spatial publishing object; wherein the user spatial publishing object comprises at least one communication space internal to the user spatial publishing object, wherein the user can enter said communication space; and wherein an audio visual feed from the user spatial publishing object and an audio visual feed from the at least one further spatial publishing object connected to the user spatial publishing object are presented simultaneously on an interior portion of the entered communication space of the user spatial publishing object. representing, on a user platform visual display, each of a plurality of spatial publishing objects (110, 810) as an entity at a location within a first three-dimensional spatial publishing object space, each of the represented spatial publishing objects (110, 810) associated with information, and each representation presenting a subset of the associated information; and establishing a user presence at a user spatial publishing object within the first three-dimensional spatial publishing object space, the user presence, in conjunction with a user point-of-view that is coincident with the user presence, being navigable by the user in at least a two-dimensional sub-space of the first three-dimensional spatial publishing object space, wherein the user presence in the first three-dimensional spatial publishing object space is separable from the user point-of-view in the first three-dimensional spatial publishing object space, wherein at least a further one of the spatial publishing objects (110, 810) is associated with at least one spatial publishing object two-way communication channel adapted for connection with a two-way communication channel of the user spatial publishing object; wherein the user spatial publishing object comprises at least one communication space internal to the user spatial publishing object, wherein the user can enter said communication space; and wherein an audio visual feed from the user spatial publishing object and an audio visual feed from the at least one further spatial publishing object connected to the user spatial publishing object are presented simultaneously on an interior portion of the entered communication space of the user spatial publishing object.
