Our sense of presence in the real world helps regulate our behaviour within it by telling us about the status and effectiveness of our actions. As such, this ability offers us practical advantages in dealing effectively with the world. It is also an... Read More about Presence: Is it just pretending?.

Men's facial masculinity : when (body) size matters. (2014)
Journal Article
Holzleitner, I., Hunter, D., Tiddeman, B., Seck, A., Re, D., & Perrett, D. (2014). Men's facial masculinity : when (body) size matters. Perception, 43, 1191-1202. https://doi.org/10.1068/p7673

Recent studies suggest that judgments of facial masculinity reflect more than sexually dimorphic shape. Here, we investigated whether the perception of masculinity is influenced by facial cues to body height and weight. We used the average difference...

Recreating real places--as distinct from virtual spaces or environments--using virtual reality technology raises a series of significant challenges. Fortunately there is a large body of existing research into the experience of place which might reaso... Read More about Place, Sense of Place, and Presence.

Evaluating soundscapes as a means of creating a sense of place (2003)
Conference Proceeding
Turner, P., McGregor, I., Turner, S., & Carroll, F. (2003). Evaluating soundscapes as a means of creating a sense of place.

We report an empirical study into the creation of, and response to, a soundscape of a computer centre. We contrast the use of presence questionnaires, as means of assessing the sense of being-there, against a more phenomenological approach. We con...
