| Thanks very much to all that contributed to the success of PRESENCE 2000, the third International Workshop on Presence, either (inter)actively or just by 'being there'! Thanks again to our sponsors, ITC, BT and SONY, and all the people that helped out locally, to make this interesting and enjoyable event possible. Pictures from the workshop will be available soon from this website.
Meanwhile, you may be interested in visiting www.presence-research.org, a resource site for people interested in presence theory, research and applications. |
| Aims |
|
The central goal of the workshop is to provide an open discussion forum in which we can share fruitful concepts for presence research, useful measurement methodologies and discuss applications in areas such as entertainment, education, communication and interface design. We aim to bring together academic researchers in the area of media and presence, content and technology developers, and commercially interested parties so that they can meet, learn from each other's experiences, present their research, and exchange ideas. |
| Topics |
|
Papers, videos, and demonstrations will be presented discussing completed or on-going work that addresses issues relevant to presence research. Topics of PRESENCE 2000 include, but are not limited to:

| Publication |
| Authors of presentations may be invited to write up a full paper for submission to a special issue of Presence: Teleoperators and Virtual Environments or CyberPsychology & Behavior, depending on the topic and quality of the presentation. |
| Previous Workshops |
| PRESENCE 2000 follows on from two highly successful annual workshops (1998 and 1999) focussed on gaining a better understanding of the sensation of presence. Their websites are still available: The Workshop on Presence in Shared Virtual Environments and the 2nd International Workshop on Presence. |
