[Air-L] Social Presence Theory - latest studies?

Kang, S., Watt, J.H., Ala, S.K. (2008) Social copresence in anonymous 
social interactions using a mobile video telephone. Proceedings of 
CHI 2008. New York: ACM Press.

This article is a summary of Sinhwa Kang's dissertation. It contains 
a good literature review on presence, social presence, and social 
copresence that might be useful, as well as the results of a very 
nice experiment that investigates the impact of behavioral realism 
and iconicity of avatars on social copresence, when they are 
presented on a simulated video mobile phone display.
