Abstract
Three forms of mobile-supported user presence are discussed, in the context of an international project, MOBIlearn. These are:
(1) ‘anticipatory’ user presence, meaning the kind of presence needed to prepare for a meeting or a visit;
(2) ‘super-real’ presence, meaning ways of increasing one’s sense of participation or one’s apparent level of participation (as perceived by others) during a meeting or a visit, for example, the use of a combination of real and
computer-generated images;
(3) ‘retrospective’ presence, meaning being able to change the apparent nature of one’s presence, and perhaps even the level and nature of one’s participation, after the event.
