TY - CONF T1 - Sense of Virtual Place (SOVP): Conceptual Exploration and Initial Empirical Validation T2 - AMCIS2017 - Boston, MA, August 10-12, 2017 Y1 - 2017 A1 - Arora,Vipin A1 - Khazanchi,Deepak KW - BIS AB - In this article, we introduce the notion of “Sense of Virtual Place” (SOVP) and explore the factors affecting it. We argue that SOVP can act as a surrogate for user engagement in virtual environments. We develop and validate a SOVP measure, adapting from a widely used measure of Sense of Place (SOP) in the academic disciplines of environmental and social psychology.
