Notes
Absolutely no mention of the role of hearing or sound . . . It's as if humans did not possess the auditory modality.

Quotes
p.111   Re VR systems: "Full immersion or presence is the you-are-there experience [...] The "sense of presence" seems to be just another way to capture the fact that a perceptual object or scene ceases to be a representation of the real thing and becomes a fully transparent surrogate of it."   Added by: Mark Grimshaw-Aagaard
Keywords:   Presence Immersion Virtual reality
p.112   "for a VR system to produce "full immersion" is for it to modulate the phenomenal level in a way that produces a fully convincing "self-in-the-world" experience. Satisfaction of these requirements, or creating full immersion, reveals how much and what kind of information must be fed into the brain through the sensory systems to create a flawless, gapless world simulation at the phenomenal level. The most important modalities for immersion are vision, movement, and touch, and their coherent interplay."   Added by: Mark Grimshaw-Aagaard

p.126   "To be conscious is to have the sense of presence in a world. The most central concept of the world-simulation metaphor of consciousness is undoubtedly that of presence or virtual presence. To have contents of consciousness is to have patterns of phenomenal experience present."   Added by: Mark Grimshaw-Aagaard
Keywords:   Presence Consciousness
p.126   "the notion of presence treats phenomenality as the mark of the mental, and the pure existence of patterns of phenomenal feaures constitutes their presence. Phenomenality as bare presence is nonrelational and self-contained rather than relational and object-directed."   Added by: Mark Grimshaw-Aagaard
Keywords:   Consciousness Presence
p.129   "The phenomenal level [...] simulates external reality by going  into organized experiential states, providing the brain with virtual presence in the world through the simulated environment in which this presence seems to take place."   Added by: Mark Grimshaw-Aagaard
Keywords:   Presence Environment
p.129   "In the philosophy of presence, consciousness is an organized whole of transparent surrogates or virtual objects that are immediately present for us in the here-and-now of subjective experience. The organized system of transparent surrogates is what constitutes inner presence. Individual virtual objects are parts of our being; we are not externally related to virtual objects, but, rather, our subjectivity is constituted by them."   Added by: Mark Grimshaw-Aagaard
