Quotes

Paraphrases
p. 274  
Virtual presence, virtual environment, virtual reality, artificial reality. Sheridan views these as synonymous (although admitting that one is the experience and each of the others are what is experienced). Virtual presence differs to telepresence in that the environment in which one is present is generated by a computer.
