Panel: Presence Foundations
Some are concerned that the concept
of presence may become overloaded with different meanings and interpretations
and that this may impede progress. A major aspect of any mature scientific
discipline is a more or less accepted and unified paradigm within which much of
normal science, every day research and puzzle solving, takes place (Kuhn). This
is not the case with presence research which is a new and maturing area. At
this stage there are a variety of different approaches both in terms of
definition and methodology. This panel will include speakers presenting
different approaches, and in the discussion following, an attempt will be made
to see if there is common unifying ground.
