An Empirical Study on Spatial Presence in Immersive Geo-Environments

Abstract: Research on immersive virtual reality (VR) indicates that VR technologies facilitate understanding through the formation of spatial presence, which is the user's feeling of "being there" in a virtual place. These findings make VR a highly interesting tool for geographic information science and the visualization of geospatial phenomena. However, immersion and presence are often studied under laboratory conditions, while research on virtual representations of real-world environments is still rare. This paper aim… Show more

“…Thus, the synthesis of different geographic approaches and perspectives in VR-based 3D spatial representations can support the development of urban development concepts towards more smart, green and resilient cities (Jamei et al 2017;Ma et al 2020). Moreover, besides the basic ability to visualize space in 3D, VR is characterized by the component of immersion, which considerably intensifies the communication of spatial information (Hruby et al 2020b). Immersion describes the potential of a technology to create a feeling of presence in a virtual environment (Baños et al 2004;Waterworth and Riva 2014).…”

“…By implementing VR capabilities into these 3D spatial representations, the level of immersion can be significantly increased (Hruby et al 2020b). Consequently, it is much easier for a user to obtain a feeling of being present in the spatial representation.…”

“…This impression is directly created from the attributes of destination attractions, so it has the strongest direct effect on satisfying the 360° VR. Telepresence is a technical aspect of presence; high telepresence can be created by embedding rich 360° video [ 62 ]. In cases where the 360° VR interface utilises a better immersive experience of the VR display, people will feel themselves immersed in the virtual environment.…”

“…1:1 visualization is a defining characteristic of highly immersive VR-systems, facilitating the acceptance of HIVE in general (Cummings and Bailenson 2016) and GeoIVE in particular (Hruby et al 2020) as the user's preferred egocentric reference frame (Wirth et al 2007) and, consequently, the formation of spatial presence, i.e. the feeling of being there in a virtually mediated environment (Skarbez et al 2018).…”
