“…In order to represent self-to-environment interaction, cognition constructs an egocentric reference frame (Franklin and Tversky, 1990) which is continuously and automatically updated (Riecke et al, 2007) in relation to ongoing self-movement through the landscape. The reference frame is self-locating because it is constituted by continuous updating through a combination of external sensory, as well as internal proprioceptive and vestibular feedback from self-movement to yield an ongoing sense where and when the organism is in relation to the environment (Wirth et al, 2007). The spatial aspect of self-locational functionality, which is computed on the basis of self-motion cues rather than with reference to external visual or acoustic landmarks is referred to as path integration (Etienne and Jeffery, 2004).…”

“…Because the cognitive system is designed for constant interactivity, it is designed, ipso facto, to constantly track this ongoing interaction. Consequently, egocentric self-locational updating in terms of the self-locating schema can be considered as constituting the primary ongoing reference frame (Hartley and Burgess, 2002;Avraamides and Sofroniou, 2006;Briscoe, 2008;Wirth et al, 2007), and as such, can be accounted, in some sense, the functional heart of the cognitive system (much as the more elaborate self as executive planner and decision-maker is accounted the heart of a self-regulating system (Carver and Sheier, 1981).…”

Consciousness as recursive, spatiotemporal self-location

At the phenomenal level, consciousness arises in a consistently coherent fashion as a singular, unified field of recursive self-awareness (subjectivity) with explicitly orientational characteristics -that of a subject located both spatially and temporally in an egocentrically-extended domain.Understanding these twin elements of consciousness begins with the recognition that ultimately (and most primitively), cognitive systems serve the biological self-regulatory regime in which they subsist. The psychological structures supporting self-located subjectivity involve an evolutionary elaboration of the two basic elements necessary for extending self-regulation into behavioral interaction with the environment: an orientative reference frame which consistently structures ongoing interaction in terms of controllable spatiotemporal parameters, and processing architecture that relates behavior to homeostatic needs via feedback. Over time, constant evolutionary pressures for energy efficiency have encouraged the emergence of anticipative feedforward processing mechanisms, and the elaboration, at the apex of the sensorimotor processing hierarchy, of self-activating, highly attenuated recursively-feedforward circuitry processing the basic orientational schema independent of external action output. As the primary reference frame of active waking cognition, this recursive self-locational schema processing generates a zone of subjective self-awareness in terms of which it feels like something to be oneself here and now. This is consciousness-as-subjectivity.

“…Furthermore, only a few of these variables, as may be visual fatigue derived from a deficient 3D production, can be controlled in a consistent manner by a technical system. Thus, predictions on the influence of state variables on the user experience are rarely included in a general model [101]. Conversely, enduring personal characteristics enable the characterization of the media user in a more consistent manner.…”

“…Furthermore, the associated implications, as regards to the potential adoption of these technologies, have been widely ignored. Previous works as those in [2,44,53,97,101] point to a direct impact of factors such as extraversion, openness to experience, impulsivity, dissociation, locus of control and domain-specific interest and knowledge on the user experience with media. Most of them highlight also the mediating role of attentional processes in the elicitation of Presence.…”

Recent studies encourage the development of sensorially-enriched media to enhance the user experience by stimulating senses other than sight and hearing. Sensory effects as odor, wind, vibration and light effects, as well as an enhanced audio quality, have been found to favour media enjoyment and to have a positive influence on the sense of Presence and on the perceived quality, relevance and reality of a multimedia experience. In particular, sports is among the genres that could benefit the most from these solutions. Several works have demonstrated also the technical feasibility of implementing and deploying end-to-end solutions integrating sensory effects into a legacy system. Thus, multi-sensorial media emerges as a mean to deliver a new form of immersive experiences to the mass market in a non-disruptive manner. However, many questions remain concerning issues as the sensory effects that can better complement a given audiovisual content or the best way in which to integrate and combine them to enhance the user experience of a target audience segment. The work presented in this paper aims to gain insight into the impact of binaural audio and sensory (light and olfactory) effects on the sports media experience, both at the overall level (average effect) and as a function of users' characteristics (heterogeneous effects). To this aim, we conducted an experimental study exploring the influence of these immersive elements on the quality and Presence dimensions of the media experience. Along the quality dimension, we look for possible variations on the quality scores assigned to the overall media experience and to the media components content, image, audio and sensory effects. The potential impact on Presence is analyzed in terms of Spatial Presence and Engagement. The users' characteristics considered encompass specific personal affective, cognitive and behavioral attributes. At the overall level we found that participants preferred binaural audio over standard stereo audio and that the presence of sensory effects increased significantly the level of Spatial Presence. Several heterogeneous effects were also revealed as a result of our experimental manipulations. Whereas binaural audio was found to have a generalized impact on the majority of the quality and Presence measures considered, the effects of sensory effects concentrate mainly on the Presence dimension. Personal characteristics explained most of the variation in the dependent variables, being individuals' preferences in relation to the content, knowledge of involved technologies, tendency to emotional involvement and conscientiousness among the user variables with the most generalized influence. In particular, the former two features seem to present a conflict in the allocation of attentional resources towards the media content versus the technical features of the system, respectively. Additionally, football fans' experience seems to be modulated by emotional processes whereas for not fans cognitive processes -and in particular those related to ...
