7. Altered, expanded and distributed embodiment : the three stages of interactive presence

Abstract

This conceptual chapter outlines three stages in the development of interactive presence, and outlines some possibilities and challenges raised by each, and by their combination. The first stage, presence via altered embodiment, refers to the way technology allows us to experience the world with modified or enhanced senses. The second stage, via expanded embodiment, refers to technology pushing the envelope of the mental body in which one feels present, out beyond the physical body. Finally, distributed embodiment refers to how the sense of being present in the world can be separated from that of ownership of a particular body, through the development of new approaches to deploying the technologies of virtual realization. We suggest that presence is the yardstick of embodiment from an experiential perspective. If you cannot feel presence, you are not embodied in the world.

8. On Feeling (the) Present.

Author

Waterworth, John A., Waterworth, Eva L., Mantovani, Fabrizia, and Riva, Giuseppe

Subjects
*SENSE (Philosophy), *CONSCIOUSNESS, *VIRTUAL reality, *SURVIVAL behavior (Humans), *ORGANISMS
Abstract

The article discusses the sense of presence which tells the extent to which human takes conscious attention on the outside world rather than the internal world of thoughts and imagination. It states that the sense of presence has gained interest through the years due to the use of interactive virtual reality environments. Furthermore, it mentions that the sense of presence was made by evolution for organisms to know when they are attending to things that might affect their survival.

9. Focus, Locus, and Sensus: The Three Dimensions of Virtual Experience.

Author

Waterworth, Eva L. and Waterworth, John A.

*VIRTUAL reality, *SYSTEMS theory
Abstract

A model of virtual/physical experience is presented, which provides a three dimensional conceptual space for virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR) comprising the dimensions of focus, locus, and sensus. Focus is most closely related to what is generally termed presence in the VR literature. When in a virtual environment, presence is typically shared between the VR and the physical world. "Breaks in presence" are actually shifts of presence away from the VR and toward the external environment. But we can also have "breaks in presence" when attention moves toward absence - when an observer is not attending to stimuli present in the virtual environment, nor to stimuli present in the surrounding physical environment - when the observer is present in neither the virtual nor the physical world. We thus have two dimensions of presence: focus of attention (between presence and absence) and the locus of attention (the virtual vs. the physical world). A third dimension is the sensus of attention - the level of arousal determining whether the observer is highly conscious or relatively unconscious while interacting with the environment. After expanding on each of these three dimensions of experience in relation to VR, we present a couple of educational examples as illustrations, and also relate our model to a suggested spectrum of evaluation methods for virtual environments.

10. Human-experiential design of presence in everyday blended reality living in the here and now

Author

Waterworth, John and Hoshi, Kei

Subjects
HCI, experiental, design, blended reality, interaction, virtual reality, presence, mixed reality
Abstract

This book explores how our lives and social interactions have become split between two intertwined, but not integrated, realities: the physical and the digital. Our sense of presence in the here and now has become fragmented, and yet earlier design approaches reinforced the problem, rather than leading to improvements. The authors address these issues by laying out a new human computer interaction (HCI) design approach – human-experiential design – rooted in a return to first principles of how people understand the world, both consciously and unconsciously. The application of this approach to the design of blended reality spaces is described in detail. Examples and scenarios of designing them to overcome the problems inherent in a variety of mixed reality settings are provided. Human-Experiential Design of Presence in Everyday Blended Reality will appeal to undergraduate and graduate students and researchers in interaction design, psychology, HCI and computer application studies, as well as practicing interaction designers and computer professionals. It will also be of interest to communication, media and urban design students, and to all readers with an interest in the technology-mediated future.
