Perceptual realism

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 perceived realism (i.e., the correspondence between a technology-mediated experience and a similar experience not mediated by technology), specifically perceptual aspects of experience.

Sample defintion(s):

Zahoric & Jenison (1998):
“Presence is tantamount to successfully supported action in the environment... When actions are made in an environment, the environment reacts, in some fashion, to the action made. When the environmental response is perceived as lawful, that is, commensurate with the response that would be made by the real-world environment in which our perceptual systems have evolved, then the action is said to successfully support our expectations." (p. 87); see also Retauz (2003)
