| "while high-fidelity systems are an important part of enhancing the intensity of an experience, they do not themselves create a sense of presence." | |
| For incorporation to occur, the medium must "specifically acknowledge the player's presence and agency within the virtual world." | |
| Calleja's main bone of contention with concepts such as immersion and presence is that they imply that the user of a virtual environment is "merely a subjective consciousness being poured into the containing vessel of the virtual environment." | |
| Calleja favors the term incorporation over immersion or presence because the latter two "are defined by their discontinuity from the real physical world [whereas] incorporation occurs [when playing a computer game, for example] when the game world is present to the player while simultaneously the player is present, via an avatar, to the virtual environment." | |

| "If presence is indeed primarily the perceptual result of appropriate content then a deeper understanding of the the way in which the human perceptual systems respond to VE generated content will be a major research area for the near future. It would also seem of great benefit to investigate the theoretical underpinnings of other disciplines, such as film and architecture, to support this activity." | |
| "...as presence is a mental state it is therefore a direct result of perception rather than sensation. In other words, the mental constructions that people build from stimuli are more important than the stimuli themselves." | |
VE perceptual/content details that give rise to presence are in two symbiotic forms that both derive from the logic of virtual the environment:
This is illustrated with a joke: "My dog has no nose! How does he smell? Terrible!" The first two lines are cues, the last a surprise. All three follow a logic with the last dependent on the preceeding logic. |

| The experiments comparing decontextualized and contextualized beacons for navigational effectiveness and efficiency proved inconclusive in the main. In neither case is the mental visual map improved through the use of such beacons -- possibly because the spatializing abilities of the human auditory system have been overestimated. | |
|
The authors define two types of audio beacons used for navigating in virtual worlds. A decontextualized audio beacon has an 'as the crow flies' route (the shortest path) from target to listener/player and so ignores walls and other natural sound barriers. Earlier game engines led to this type of beacon because of their inability to allow game audio to interact with the game's physical spaces. A contextualized audio beacon accounts for physical sound barriers in the game world and so appears in later, more sophisticated game engines. Because decontextualized audio beacons do not take account of the game's physical spaces and objects, they do not contribute to the formation of the visual map. A contextualized beacon does but, because it requires concentration to follow the path of the beacon, it imposes a greater cognitive load. |

The authors refer to the creation of a cognitive map within the player's mind used as an aid to navigation and formed through a learning experience. This is called a visual map by Passini. Passini, R. 1992. "Wayfinding in Architecture". New York: van Nostrand Reinhold. |

| "The cross-modal perception of auditory and visual stimuli is explored mostly with animals. ... little research have [sic] been done in the area of cognitive aspects of simultaneous visual and auditory stimuli in dynamic environments." | |
| Briefly suggest that there may be some potential in the separation of listening and viewing points. | |

| "The characteristics of sounds are shaped by the characteristics of the objects and their motions. They reinforce each other to give a coherent perceptual experience." Additionally, the authors point out that the primary focus in VR sound research and design has been on sound localisation. | |

Following Loomis, the authors describe the phenomenal world as the one we are perceptually aware of whereas the physical world is one that is inferred by observation and reasoning (Loomis 1992). |
|
| Auditory elements of virtual environments can be more susceptible to non-externalization than other elements such as visual, tactile etc. and this weakens presence. | |

| "Subjects appear more willing to explore a room or space if it has associated sound. However, there is also some evidence that a subject may curtail exploration of the current area if the sounds suggest that an adjacent area may be more interesting." | |
| "Sound and in particular spatial sound is a very powerful medium for conveying a sense of immersion within a virtual environment. The various attributes of spatial sound can affect the perception of an environment, the context of a communication, and alter the meaning of a message." | |
| Re. the use of head-tracking devices feeding back into a sound spatialization engine, these help give better sound directionality and assist in sound source externalization (i.e. not having the sound inside-the-head via headphones). In this sense, nutation is mimicked. | |
| Describes the use of environmental sounds to "lure" VE users to other locations. While these distant sounds are usually at a low level, they are occasionally amplified in an attempt to entice the user to explore in the direction of the sound. These sounds (or their sources) are never visually realised. | |
