https://ispr.info/call-presence-2020

Conference theme: World of presence

Coronavirus notice: We have no plans to cancel this in-person conference event but will offer a virtual component for anyone who isn’t able to attend. It would be ironic if presence experts didn’t offer the option for remote participation, and it will represent a valuable opportunity to explore the dynamics of what will be an increasingly common real-world application of presence.

OVERVIEW

Telepresence, often shortened to presence, is a state or perception in which we overlook or misconstrue the role of technology and feel present in the environments and/or connected to the people or things we experience via technology.… read more. “Call: PRESENCE 2020, 18th conference of the International Society for Presence Research (ISPR)”

Call for Participation

A (Free) ‘Virtual’ Panel at PRESENCE 2018:
Presence in Practice: A Discussion about Presence via Telepresence Tech
Monday May 21, 2018
4:15 – 5:30 pm (i.e., 16:15 – 17:30) in Prague (GMT+2)
(click here to see your current local time in Prague)

Email your interest in participating by Sunday May 20, 2018

We often joke about how as telepresence scholars we have to travel around the world – with great financial cost, physical and emotional strain, lost time, and damage to the environment – to discuss technologies designed to allow people to avoid having to travel to meet face-to-face. We also take for granted that meeting in person precludes the participation of those who aren’t able to join us in person.

At PRESENCE 2018, the 17th conference of the International Society for Presence Research (ISPR) in Prague, Czech Republic, we’ve scheduled a unique panel discussion designed to consider the current status and future potential of visual collaboration technologies while we actually use telepresence technology to include some of our colleagues who can’t be in Prague with us.… read more. “Call: A (Free) ‘Virtual’ Panel at PRESENCE 2018: A Discussion About Presence via Telepresence Tech”
