Wireless connectivity has affected the nature of interactions that happen within its influence and has thereby added a new dimension to the space-place discussion. In addition to the notions of geometric space and experientially-defined place, this paper offers a third region where interaction now occurs, that of the Wi-Fi plane. Furthermore, the paper conceptualizes the Wi-Fi plane as the means by which the physical- and virtual-world constructs of space and place are joined and traversed. This paper primarily focuses the attention on the emergent relationship of the Wi-Fi plane to the physical world.
