Welcome to the Presence Community website!
How do we create the experience we call reality? How are rapidly evolving interaction technologies changing it? Presence is a field studying the science, technology and social impact of digitally mediated interaction. It consists of research strands studying how to produce “real”-feeling experiences and the impact of associated technologies on social dynamics. Presence is intensely interdisciplinary, requiring collaboration in fields as diverse as Human and social cognition, human-machine interaction and machine cognition.

Dear all,
The Science Fair and 3rd WinG consultation events took place in Edinburgh April 15-16 2009. We enjoyed a very interesting show from Stelarc followed by a very interesting Panel Session on body augmentation and Presence.
The 3rd and last WinG consultation event also took place, and provided very interesting inputs to all Peach activities. We will share them with you during the following weeks, together with the final Peach roadmap.
