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.
