In my paper about "homes" and visitor experience, I analyzed how visitors' connection with different places is affecting their intepretation of digital representation of real place I am now interested to analyse more in my data also the other part of process, how the digital experience changes their previous interpretation about a place. Any useful paper to read?
Relph’s (1976; monograph) paper entitled Place and Placelessness is a good start in that it identifies what he calls Place Identity, which focuses on physical settings, activities, and meanings. A theory in sociology, place theory, was offered by Gustafson (2001; Journal of Environmental Psychology). He identified three elements of import: self, environment, and others. We used both of these theories in our own theory called embodied social presence theory (Mennecke et al, 2011; Decision Sciences Journal). In this theory, we suggest that embodied perspectives are critical because actors constantly change focus between avatars, places, tasks, and self and eventually the it becomes me (i.e., that avatar as an "it" becomes "me" in the virtual environment). You can also look in the journal of "Presence" for many articles on sense of presence.
Many thanks. Yes, the concept of "presence" is relevant for my research. I will check also the other interesting references that you gave me.
in our paper we investigate how a desktop-VR session affects the user's awareness of a real place concerning the directions and objects' location. Maybe you could find this useful. paper link --> https://www.researchgate.net/publication/256802162_Spatial_Abilities_in_Virtual_Environments_Learning_Spaces?ev=prf_pub
