We present an environment for navigating the web through a virtual reality space. The two-dimensional internet space is mapped into virtual worlds according to predefined and/or inferred metaphors. Web and metaphor elements are given a conceptual representation to highlight their similarities which are used to construct an appropriate mapping. The derived virtual representation is realized through a VR-Builder which generates VRML sources. As a result a web site is mapped into a virtual world allowing naive users to easily navigate the WWW.
