Defining virtual reality: Dimensions determining telepresence<\/strong>

Discussion (Pick 5 of items below. \u00a0Each response should be at least a paragraph)<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In what ways do you think the author’s view on Tele-presence differs from Slater’s use of presence?<\/li>\n
  2. The author lists a number of examples of presence without proximity (e.g. telephone, letters, etc). \u00a0Either arguing for or against one of the examples being\u00a0indicative\u00a0of presence.<\/li>\n
  3. The author writes that “redundancy serves to further enhance vividness”. \u00a0 Do you agree? Is sensory information often “redundant” in our daily lives? \u00a0Why or why not?<\/li>\n
  4. The author writes that there is a trade-off between bandwidth and depth for senses. \u00a0In what ways would you for see trying to balance this trade-off in VR?<\/li>\n
  5. Do you agree with the way Engagement is defined in this article? \u00a0Do you feel like matches the previous definition in the Slater paper? \u00a0Do you agree that engagement is achieved when we “feel for and with the characters”?<\/li>\n
  6. Choose 4 items on Figure 3 that you believe are in the wrong place and state where you think they belong (more or less interactive and more or less vivid) and why<\/li>\n
  7. Do you feel the final paragraph of the article is alarmist or justified? \u00a0Why or why not?<\/li>\n
  8. Find a topic that you interesting, dubious, or curious and explain why.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Editors Note<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    I was originally thinking we would read the paper below for this week. \u00a0I eventually decided that while I really enjoy this paper, it brought up many of the same issues from the article from last week. \u00a0I eventually selected the new reading for this week as I felt it was a good bridge between what we have talked about up til this point in the semester and what we will talk about moving forward. \u00a0I am adding a link to this paper in case you are curious.<\/span><\/p>\n
