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 may be possible in the social presence domain as well"[1].
"The problem for defining this kind of presence experience according to terms of tele-presence is the difficulty to talk about physical distances, about things ‘far away’ and thus far-present: tele-present. More than this we have to deal with another kind of spatiality making these distances even obsolete and allowing presence to take place in a higher, more spiritual space".[2]
