ISPR 2012 "Presence Live!" Conference
International Society for Presence Research Annual Conference
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
October 25 - 26, 2012
http://presencelive.info
[Immediate Contact: Tim Downs, Interwork Media, Inc.;
1+949-235-8985]
The concept of telepresence, often shortened to `presence,� is
commonly referred to as a sense of `being there� in a virtual
environment and can be more broadly defined as an illusion of
non-mediation in which users of any technology overlook or
misconstrue the technology�s role in their virtual experience.
A telepresence conferencing system makes us feel as if we�re
face-to-face; an online virtual world seems real; a 3D IMAX film
makes us reach out to touch objects on the screen; we get `lost�
in the worlds of novels, TV shows, movies, videogames and
theme park rides; doctors, engineers, explorers and many others
operate machinery thousands of miles away as if they were at the
remote site; students learn about the world and workers learn
how to do their jobs using compelling simulations; we think of and
interact with computers, agents, avatars, robots and androids as if
they were living social entities even though we know they�re not;
we�re delighted by perceptual illusions in everything from ancient
Trompe-l�oeil paintings to modern digital art. As we expand
technology�s capabilities and applications, we�re having ever
more, and ever more compelling, presence experiences.
Join us for ISPR Presence Live 2012, the 14th international
conference on presence. This year�s event will showcase
researchers and research studies from a diverse academic
community in communication, computer science, psychology,
philosophy, the arts, business, education and other fields.
Presentations and papers by researchers and professionals in
commercial, government, educational and other industry sectors
are to be featured. Other events include visits to presence-related
sites in Philadelphia and conference reception and dinner.
