“Like Being There” – Understanding Mediated Presence
The “feeling that you’re really there” is the “defining quality” of the Metaverse for Mark Zuckerberg, whose Meta Reality Labs has spent more than 46 billion dollars on it since 2019. “Mediated Presence” has a modern history from 19th Century cycloramas to last fall’s opening of MSG Sphere in Las Vegas; and VR, AR and MR headsets strive to replicate this feeling in a more personal and practical way. Michael Naimark will present landmark examples as well as several decades of his own explorations.
