Information spaces are virtual workspaces that help us manage information by mapping it to the physical environment. This widely influential concept has been interpreted in a variety of forms, often in conjunction with mixed reality. We present Ethereal Planes, a design framework that ties together many existing variations of 2D information spaces. Ethereal Planes is aimed at assisting the design of user interfaces for next-generation technologies such as head-worn displays. From an extensive literature review, we encapsulated the common attributes of existing novel designs in seven design dimensions. Mapping the reviewed designs to the framework dimensions reveals a set of common usage patterns. We discuss how the Ethereal Planes framework can be methodically applied to help inspire new designs. We provide a concrete example of the framework's utility during the design of the Personal Cockpit, a window management system for head-worn displays.
