The Cyborg's Dilemma: Progressive Embodiment in Virtual Environments [1]

Journal of Computer-Mediated Communication, 2006

Participants (n = 117) received instructions that focused on either the Internet's communication tools or its information tools. Internet use was continuously and automatically recorded. Survey measures of computer and Internet experiences, affect and attitudes were obtained to examine their mediational role in the relationship between instructional set and Internet use. Results indicated that instructions focused on the Internet's information tools led to greater Internet use than instructions focused on its communication tools or only basic instructions about how to use the Internet. Implications for reducing the digital divide are discussed.

A framework is established to evaluate the suitability of a position-tracking implementation for virtual reality use. Mechanical, optical, magnetic, and acoustic implementations are discussed with examples of each. Also, the effect of position tracking on a virtual reality user is discussed, especially with regard to the position tracker's role as a cause of simulation sickness. A catalog of implementations and uses is included in an appendix.
