We present Viki LibraRy, a virtual-reality-based system for generating and exploring online information as a spatial hypertext. It creates a virtual library based on Wikipedia in which Rooms are used to make data available via a RESTful backend. In these Rooms, users can browse through all articles of the corresponding Wikipedia category in the form of Books. In addition, users can access different Rooms, through virtual portals. Beyond that, the explorations can be done alone or collaboratively, using Ubiq.
