OVERVIEW
Academics and practitioners with an interest in the concept
of (tele)presence are
invited to PRESENCE 2009, the 12th Annual
International
Workshop on Presence, to be held in Los Angeles, California on
November 11-13,
2009. Often described as a sense of "being there" in
a mediated environment,
telepresence is broadly defined as a psychological state or subjective
perception in
which a person fails to accurately and completely acknowledge
the role of technology
in an experience. It is a rich, fascinating subject of scientific
investigation, artistic
exploration and diverse application, with increasingly important
implications for the
ways in which people work, play and live, and technologies are
developed.
The PRESENCE conferences provide a relaxed
and
enjoyable forum for presentation of presence scholarship and
applications and
(especially in the planned format this year), discussion sessions
that allow attendees
to join together in synthesizing and expanding our collective
knowledge and visions
for the future regarding this compelling topic.
PRESENCE 2009 is co-organized by the International Society for
Presence Research
(ISPR; http://ispr.info) and The
University of Southern California Institute for
Creative Technologies (ICT; http://ict.usc.edu).
VENUE

California Institute for
Creative Technologies (ICT) in Los Angeles, California. The conference
