Inaccurate perception of technology

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.

Sample defintion(s):

International Society for Presence Research (2002): "Presence (a shortened version of the term "telepresence") is a psychological state or subjective perception in which even though part or all of an individual's current experience is generated by and/or filtered through human-made technology, part or all of the individual's perception fails to accurately acknowledge the role of the technology in the experience. ... Experience is defined as a person's observation of and/or interaction with objects, entities, and/or events in her/his environment ...." (The Concept of Presence: Explication Statement)

Lombard & Ditton (1997):
"the perceptual illusion of nonmediation. The term 'perceptual' indicates that this phenomenon involves continuous (real time) responses of the human sensory, cognitive, and affective processing systems to objects and entities in a person's environment. An 'illusion of nonmediation' occurs when a person fails to perceive or acknowledge the existence of a medium in his/her communication environment and responds as he/she would if the medium were not there. Although in one sense all of our experiences are mediated by our intrapersonal sensory and perceptual systems, 'nonmediated' here is defined as experienced without human-made technology"

Lee (2004):
"[A] psychological state in which virtual (para-authentic or artificial) objects are experienced as actual objects in either sensory or nonsensory ways." (p. 37)
