Abstract

The term ‘spatial presence’ refers to the feeling of presence in
a mediated space. This subjective experience has been discussed
in media theory, sound art, film and performance. It depends
on multiple variables, or parameters. This paper presents a
parametric model that can be used to analyze those variables
and their relationships. It exposes methods to assess interaction,
characteristics of sound and image, audio-visual relationship
and physical setup. It also exposes methods to assess how these
variables intertwine in perceptual experience. The model draws
from perception science, interaction design, music and audio-visual
theory. It is applicable to the broad diversity of aesthetical options
and technical platforms, facilitating the analysis of spatial
presence in any performance. One can also discard part of the
parameters so as to analyze installations, sound art and film.
