Goffman (1959) in Biocca, Harms, & Burgoon (2003):
“[F]ull conditions of copresence, however, are found in less variable circumstances: persons must sense that they are close enough to be perceived in whatever they are doing, including their experiencing of others, and close enough to be perceived in this sensing of being perceived.” (p. 17)
