v-must

Derives from the concept of “Sense of Presence”, which refers to the idea of “being there” of an individual placed in a virtual environment. In practice, it is a way of expressing an internal perception of the environment and ourselves in relation to it, depending on various factors: physical immersion, perceptual realism, naturalness of the interaction, emotional involvement, attention, unconscious reactions, etc. Cultural Presence stresses the contextual, social and symbolic, communicational aspects of presence, and also, implicitly, a learning aim. Through interaction and collaboration, presence becomes a being, not only physically but also culturally, there and then.

The term “Cyber Museum”, is often confused with [Virtual Museum]. the traditional definition describes a Cyber Museum as “a logically related collection of digital objects composed in a variety of media which, through its connectivity and its multi-accessible nature, lends itself to transcending traditional methods of communicating and interacting with visitors.; it has no real place or space; its objects and the related information can be disseminated all over the world”. This definition probably derived from the newly-born examples of “Virtual” applications and it appears somehow misinterpreting. Likely according to McKenzie, in these museums, it is expressed the synergistic effect of classical and online museum with a slight tilt toward the domination of the classical museum.
