Abstract

We propose a synthesis of two current major approaches to understanding the effectiveness of VR systems. We propose cognitive presence as a single, unified concept of presence which includes previous ideas of presence in a cognitive psychological framework, and propose a methodology for measuring it. We then critically examine the notion of cognitive presence, as a way of conceptualizing HCI quality in virtual environments.
