Presence is the visceral feeling of being physically and spatially located in an environment. [[VR]] allows us, for the first time, to feel Presence in another realm, in a virtual realm. It is one of the indescribable factors of VR.
Presence can be divided into 2 types: Cognitive Presence and Perceptive Presence. Cognitive Presence is the presence of your mind. It can be achieved by watching a compelling film or reading an engaging book. Cognitive Presence is important to an immersive experience of any kind. Perceptive Presence is the presence of your senses. To accomplish Perceptive Presence, your senses, sights, sound, touch and smell, have to be tricked. Perceptive Presence can only be achieved by [[Virtual Reality]] and [[Augmented Reality]].
