"Over the next few decades, immersive media could fundamentally
change the ways humans engage in entertainment, communication, and
social interaction. The current volume takes a step towards
understanding this potential paradigm shift, combining insights
from pioneers of the field of 'presence' with bright young scholars
who bring a new perspective." -Jeremy Bailenson, Stanford
University, USA
"This book provides an indispensable contribution to scholars in
communication studies, computer science and psychology interested
in the modes of being present in different media, and offers a
careful historical and theoretical framework to the
state-of-the-art research."-Anna Spagnolli, University of Padova,
Italy
"Bracken and Skalski have assembled a collection of works from
the world's foremost authorities on telepresence, a topic that has
gone understudied for years. Someone has finally assembled a
comprehensive volume on the subject. This book is a must not only
for those interested in telepresence, but for mass communication
scholars of all kinds."-Kenneth A. Lachan, University of
Massachusetts, Boston, USA
Immersed in Media highlights the increasing significance of
telepresence in the media field. With contributions representing
diverse disciplines, this volume delves into the topic through
considerations of popular media types and their effects on users.
Chapters in the work explain how the experience of presence can be
affected by media technologies, including television, video games,
film, and the Internet. They also discuss how presence experience
mediates or moderates commonly studied media effects, such as
enjoyment, persuasion, and aggression. These discussions are
accompanied by overviews of the current state of presence research
and its future. Ultimately, this work establishes the crucial role
of telepresence in gaining a complete understanding of the uses and
effects of popular media technologies.
