Feeling/sense/state of "being there" in a mediated environment

Details:

The definitions under this heading explicitly involve technology; the phenomenon is a subjective property of an individual person; the source of the stimuli in the experience is only external (outside the body); and there is an inaccurate perceptioon that technology is not involved in the experience when it is; and the aspect of the phenonenon that is of primary interest is related to the physical environment, specifically the feeling, sense, or state of "being there" in a mediated environment.

Sample defintion(s):

Steuer (1992):
“[T]elepresence is the extent to which one feels present in the mediated environment, rather than in the immediate physical environment. Telepresence is defined as the experience of presence in an environment by means of a communication medium” (p. 76)

Biocca, Harms, & Burgoon (2003):
"[T]elepresence (also known as spatial presence or physical presence): the phenomenal sense of “being there” including automatic responses to spatial cues and the mental models of mediated spaces that create the illusion of place" (p. 459)

Whitmer & Singer (1998):
"[T]he subjective experience of being in one place or environment, even when one is physically situated in another" (p. 225)

Waterworth (2003):
“[E]lectronically mediated presence is the perceptual illusion of being in an external environment” (abstract)
