SM4ALL Project

GTEC is currently involved in PRESENCIA, whose aims are mainly to construct a theory of presence based on empirical observations from neuroscience, to extend ‘presence’ beyond just similarity of response between virtual and real stimuli, in order to use the capability of virtual reality for sensory enhancement and to extend the understanding of presence to co-presence - the sense of being with other people in a shared virtual environment, including the situation where those 'other people' are entirely computer generated.
