Hyperpresence

Discussion

"The definition of social presence...suggests that although mediated social presence should be measured against the yardstick of face-to-face communication between two human beings, it may be possible to develop a medium in which one feels greater "access to the intelligence, intentions, and sensory impressions of another" than is possible in the most intimate, face-to-face communication. One aspect of what might be called hyperpresence (Biocca, forthcoming) may be possible in the social presence domain as well" [1].
