presence theory  

Definition

  • The concept of presence and its related theories have mainly been developed by Frank Biocca, Matthew Lombard, Kwan Min Lee, and other scholars in communication and computer science. The origin of the term presence comes from Marvin Minsky who used the term telepresence to explain the possibility that humans could feel the sense of being physically transported to a remote work space via a teleoperating system.
