 About ISPR
The International Society for Presence Research (ISPR) supports academic
research related to the concept of (tele)presence, commonly referred to as a
sense of 'being there' in a virtual environment and more broadly defined as
an illusion of nonmediation in which users of any technology overlook or
misconstrue the technology's role in their experience.
ISPR was created in January 2002 to coordinate the annual
International Presence Workshops as
well as a variety of research efforts related to presence. This web site is
intended to serve as a resources for those who conduct research, develop theory,
write about, or simply are interested in, the concept of presence. Please
use the menu at the left of each page to explore the site. For more resources
