Articulating a post-human understanding of presence in virtual reality

摘要

This paper critiques existing methods and experimentation that use virtual reality (VR) and associated technologies to define and measure `presence'. Relevant contemporary philosophical resources are used to critique and reframe existing research, introducing a new post-human perspective on presence. Here, a new methodology is built as a foundation for research methods used for capturing subjective, experiential data and to contribute to current thinking around experiential design for VR.
