The intention with this thesis is to design a
framework which considers the connection
between technology and cross modal feedback,
studying human behaviour while acting in VE.
The interface prototype is intended to overwrite
the stimuli from the physical location with
photorealistic audio visual stimuli from a remote
location, enabling an experience of presence
answering the problem stated as:
“How does the possibility to manipulate objects
and collaborate in a Photo Realistic VE influence
the presence?”
The intention is to create the interface informed
by activity theory applying new methodology in
data gathering and analysis to provide a better
understanding of the feeling of presence.
As an overall conclusion of the interview with
the test participants is that they were in control
and able to cognitively adjust to the VE, showing
interest by exploring the VE and testing the
affordance of the system. The visual quality was
not to a degree that caused distractions, though a
few commented on this. Furthermore the
participants had fun and felt proficient in moving
and interaction with the VE commenting during
the test their sense of presence.
