An experimental study of the effect of presence in collaborative virtual environments

This chapter explores one aspect of interaction in virtual environments, namely the degree of "presence" experienced by participants in relation to the avatar style used to represent them. A prototype virtual art gallery was created as a vehicle for conducting a series of online experiments designed to measure and compare the effects of different forms of avatar on presence. The choice of experimental procedure, together with analysis and interpretation of the results, are presented.
