“…This stream of research acknowledges a mental domain for the concept of telepresence (e.g. Bouchard et al, 2012;Lindsay et al, 2007;Lombard and Ditton, 1997;Sas and O'Hare, 2003;Schubert, 2009;Sacau et al, 2008;Wu, 2007). Consistent with this, it conceives telepresence within digital media products as a psychological phenomenon which happens in the user's mind in relation to the outside virtual environment.…”

Substantial multidisciplinary research has established foundational support for the consumer behaviour phenomenon that underlies the experience of telepresence within online social networks and other digital media products that provide hedonistic value. A review of major perspectives in this field provides justification of the important role mental imagery processes play in the phenomenon of telepresence. In line with this, we propose to extend existing approaches to mental imagery to reach the context of user experiences in digital media, and to theoretically connect telepresence with mental imagery. On this basis, and in conjunction with investigations bringing to light processes that intervene in the terrain of mental imagery, we present an integrative conceptual framework concerned with telepresence, and discuss the role of telepresence within a user's hedonistic usage of digital media products.2

“…To date, there is a paucity of empirical research on the impact of mental imagery processes (Bouchard et al, 2012;R odriguez-Ardura & Martínez-Lopez, 2014). A couple of studies have demonstrated that narratives can affect presence through emotion-induction (e.g., Bouchard, St-Jacques, Robillard, & Renaud, 2008;Gorini, Capideville, De Leo, Mantovani, & Riva, 2011).…”

“…Narratives, or stories that are told to the subject before entering the virtual environment, aim to enrich the virtual context or provide more background information. A specific recent example is a study of Bouchard et al (2012), which showed that the false belief of being immersed in a room with the stimulus actually being present (i.e. a mouse in a cage) led to higher feelings of presence.…”

Game-day football visualization experience on dissimilar virtual reality platforms

College football recruiting is a competitive process. Athletic administrations attempt to gain an edge by bringing recruits to a home game, highlighting the atmosphere unique to campus. This is however not always possible since most recruiting efforts happen off-season. So, they relate the football game experience through video recordings and visits to football facilities. While these substitutes provide a general idea of a game, they cannot capture the feeling of playing while cheered on by a crowd of 55,000 people. To address this challenge and improve the recruitment process, the Iowa State University (ISU) athletic department and the Virtual Reality Applications Center (VRAC) teamed up to build an alternative to the game-day experience using the world's highest resolution six-sided virtual reality (VR) environment -the C6, and a portable low-cost headmounted display (HMD) system. This paper presents techniques used in the development of the immersive and portable VR environments followed by validation of the work through quantifying immersion and presence through a formal user study. Results from the user study indicate that both the HMD and C6 are an improvement over the standard practice of showing videos to convey the atmosphere of an ISU Cyclone football game. In addition, both the C6 and HMD were scored similar in immersion and presence categories. This indicates that the low-cost portable HMD version of the application produces minimal trade off in experience for a fraction of the cost. RightsCopyright 2015 SPIE-IS&T.
