MasIE 2013 Paper

Last month, Dr. Stella Sylaiou presented a co-authored paper with title ‘Exploring the effect of diverse technologies incorporated in virtual museums on visitors’ perceived sense of presence’. The paper was presented at the International Workshop on Museums as Intelligent Environments (MasIE), in conjuction with the 9th International Conference on Intelligent Environments - IE'13 in Athens, Greece.


The paper presented the preliminary results of a research project aimed at exploring the perceived sense of presence incorporated in diverse technologies used in Virtual Museums. The results of a double-phased statistical analysis were discussed, which investigated the technological conditions under which a Virtual Museum enhances the visitors’ experience of presence.
