Call for Participation
ISPR 2011
International Society for Presence Research Annual Conference
Edinburgh, Scotland
October 26 - 28, 2011
Academics and practitioners interested in presence (short for
telepresence) are invited to participate in the Annual International
Conference on Presence, to be held in Edinburgh on October
26-28, 2011. The presence community comprises researchers in
communication, computer science, psychology, entertainment,
philosophy, the arts, education and other fields.
Presence exists in two overlapping flavours - social presence and
spatial presence. Social presence is the sense, the feeling and
the experience of being with other people mediated by
technologies such as teleconferencing, collaborative virtual
environments, social networking, mobile communications and so
on. In contrast, spatial presence is the sense, the feeling and the
experience of being in another place by way of technologies such
as immersive and non-immersive virtual reality, movies, games,
mixed reality systems and books.
ISPR 2011 is the 13th international conference on presence and
is co-organized by the International Society for Presence
Research (http://ispr.info) and the Centre for Interaction Design at
Edinburgh Napier University (http://www.napier.ac.uk/).
The provisional programme and full details regarding the
conference are available at
