Presence as Performance: the mystique of digital participation
نویسنده
چکیده
Introduction: The Idea and the Method Elsewhere, we have discussed perceptually-seductive technology interactive media designed to engage relatively direct perception rather than thoughtful reflection (Waterworth, 2001). Our Focus, Locus and Sensus (FLS) model of experience suggests that digital media that have this effect also generate a strong sense of presence (Waterworth and Waterworth, 2001). At Presence 2001 we described experimental results providing some confirmation of this idea, based on an interactive production called The Illusion of Being (Waterworth et al., 2001). In the present paper, we describe the use of interactive technology to seduce people to become performers – not mere “audience participation” but more “participation mystique” (Lévy-Bruhl, 1926). Our suggestion is that we can understand and maximise social presence in virtual environments in this way. Further, we suggest that viewing presence as the result of participation removes the distinction between social and individual presence.

Recent advances in computing, digital video cameras, and video editing software have shattered the “video mystique” and turned digital video into a routine teaching tool on a par with PowerPoint. However, widespread adoption of digital video in the classroom is yet to be seen, with the lack of pedagogical approaches as one of the major reasons. Active learning, an instructional strategy charact...

متن کاملComparison of Diagnostic Accuracy of Cone Beam Computed Tomography and Digital Radiography for Detection of Vertical Root Fractures with and without Gutta Percha
Objective: Diagnosis of vertical root fractures (VRFs) is critical in endodontics which most of the times occurs in endodontically treated teeth with root canal fillings such as gutta percha. Despite Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) has significantly enhanced image quality compared to digital radiography (DR) which aid the diagnosis, artifacts has remained as a problem in VRF detection . ...

The main solution to the problems of persistency and uniqueness in identification of digital objects in a web environment is provided by using digital identifiers instead of URL. The main basis of this solution is resolution mechanism that is used in digital identifier systems. Resolution is the use of indirect names instead of URLs; what worked for the DNS (Domain Name System) in stabilizing i...
