Abstract
Virtual environments are being designed and implemented to accommodate diverse experiences of real space. Form and content are two basic concepts that have a significant impact on the sense of presence in virtual environments. Architectural design has a particular meaningful role in designing and creating form in which content takes place. Recent explorations found that these concepts may open a new understanding of innovative design paradigms that can induce the sense of presence. This chapter discusses current research in the design of presence in virtual environments. It presents and investigates the impact of two paradigms that integrate the components of form and content: the first is termed as “task-based design” and the second is termed as “scenario-based design”.
