Conversations on Presence - Paul Verschure

Submitted by leo.ruffini on March 13, 2008 - 16:23.

Paul Verschure is Ma. and PhD in psychology. His scientific aim is to find a unified theory of mind, brain and body through the use of synthetic methods and to apply such a theory to the development of novel cognitive technologies.

Presence is a scientific and technological field focusing on understanding and controlling the experience of being someone, somewhere, with somebody. It aims to produce real-feeling experiences through sensorial augmentation or replacement with digital media. It is also intensely interdisciplinary: advances are needed in human cognition, human-machine interaction, and machine intelligence.

A simple measure of success in Presence is this: If it feels real then it is Presence.
