Is there a Trade-off between Presence and Copresence?

چکیده
Presence and copresence have been key goals of researchers and developers of shared virtual environments. Much research has assumed that the two reinforce each other; that is, an enhanced sense of presence enhances copresence and vice versa. In this essay we question this assumption, and provide some examples in which users experience high presence and low copresence and the opposite. Although the results are qualitative, we argue that it is worth pursuing the situations in which there seems to be a trade-off between the two, since this will have implications for design and for the future uses of shared virtual environments generally.

متن کاملBeyond Presence and Copresence: A Phenomenological Account of Experiences in Shared Virtual Environments
The study of shared virtual environments (SVEs) has centered on presence and copresence and this has yielded important insights. One limitation, however, has been that presence and copresence vary with the context of use, or with the activity carried out in the VE. If we analyze activities in SVEs in a phenomenological or microsocial interactionist way, we see that there are several – but only ...

In an experiment we research the effect of the Philips iCat, a human-like user-interface, on copresence and social presence in remote meetings. Two remote meeting situations were compared, one in which an iCat represented a remote participant, and one with a video connection. Participants’ perception of copresence and social presence was measured through questionnaires. We found a systematicall...
