Sense of Presence

Sense of presence refers to the feeling of being truly immersed or "being there" within a virtual environment or experience. It’s the psychological sensation of "being present" as if you are physically located in a different place, despite knowing it’s created or simulated. This feeling depends on factors like realistic visuals, sounds, and interactivity that make the virtual environment convincing. A strong sense of presence enhances user engagement and realism, making experiences such as virtual reality, gaming, or simulations feel more authentic and immersive.
