Virtual spatial telepresence

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 computer-generated virtual environment (and not one that is remote but real).

Sample defintion(s):

Carassa et al (2004):
“Sheridan, in particular, defined virtual presence as the subjective feeling or mental state in which a subject has the belief of being ‘physically present with visual, auditory, or force displays generated by a computer’.”

Saari et al. (2004):
"Virtual presence means that the person feels present in a computer-mediated world"
