Perceived in acknowledging 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 that acknowledges one's being there.

Sample defintion(s):

Heeter (1992):
“Environmental presence refers to the extent to which the environment itself appears to know that you are there and to react to you” (p. 263)

Carassa et al. (2004):
“Heeter (1992) defined an environmental presence which is yielded by the perception that an environment exists that modifies depending on what you do and seems to consider you as present.”
