"A conceptual model of the sense of presence in virtual environments," Presence: Teleoperators and Virtual Environments 1999, Vol. 8 No. 2, 241-244 doi: 10.1162/1054746995661071054-7460http://hdl.handle.net/10919/25512This paper proposes a model of interaction in virtual environments which we term the immersion, presence, performance (IPP) model. This model is based on previous models of immersion and presence proposed by Barfield and colleagues and Slater and colleagues. The IPP model describes the authors' current conceptualization of the effects of display technology, task demands, and attentional resource allocation on immersion, presence, and performance in virtual environments. The IPP model may be useful for developing a theoretical framework for research on presence and for interpreting the results of empirical studies on the sense of presence in virtual environments. The model may also be of interest to designers of virtual environments.application/pdfenIn CopyrightArticle - Refereedhttp://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/105474699566107https://doi.org/10.1162/105474699566107
