Sense of Presence It stands for the belief that individual is present in the artificial environment generated by the computer. That is possible to study by following the categories like visual features of the virtual environment itself, the grade of isolation from the physical environment and the kind of natural gestures in interaction and self-control in the virtual environment. It involves [low sense of presence] up to high [sense of presence]	M. Roussou, “Immersive Interactive Virtual Reality in the Museum”, TiLe. Foundation of The Hellenic World, Greece, p. 2, 2002.
