Abstract

This chapter presents and discusses themes such as Immersion, Telepresence, and Digital Virtual Presence in Metaverses (this latest one being a theoretical construction coming from the context of the research developed by GPe-dU UNISINOS/CNPq) and the possibilities that arise from the action and interaction of an avatar in a 3D Digital Virtual World constructed in metaverses. We present some of the concepts that contribute to a reflection on social presence and the sense of proximity in metaverses, and the importance of immersion and relational social presence for the learning process. Both are enabled through interaction via avatar, in a combination of telepresence and digital virtual presence. Some of the subtopics presented are: Presence and Proximity; Relational Presence and Social Presence; Telepresence and Digital Virtual Presence; Immersion and Tele-immersion, as well as a brief conclusion to the chapter.
