This dissertation examines what presence is, how the brain perceives space, and the role of peripersonal space in generating that sense. It uses multiple iterations of projection-based VR system setups to demonstrate practical ways to apply these insights. The focus remains on achieving effective presence even with limited

Through their support and wisdom, I was able to not only seek knowledge but look beyond the disciplines to further my understanding.  \nI would like to thank Professor Jung Moon-Ryeol, for his decades of knowledge and insight that allowed me to view things from a di􀀋erent angle, making this possible.  \nI would like to thank my colleagues in the AlloSphere Research Group, who supported me through hard times, and gave me courage to move forward. Without Dennis Adderton and Gustavo Rincon I wouldn't be where I am.  \nI would like to thank all the other colleagues in the Media Arts and Technology program for all the insightful discussions we had over the years, opening my eyes onto so many things I had been blind to.  \nFinally I would like to thank my family for their continuous support. Their love and care allowed me to keep an open mind and nurture a deep curiosity of the various wonders of the world.  \nCurriculum Vit􀀚  \nKon Hyong Kim  \nEducation  \n2021 Ph.D. in Media, Arts & Technology (Expected), University of Cal  \nifornia, Santa Barbara.  \n2016 M.S. in Multimedia Engineering, Media, Arts & Technology, Uni  \nversity of California, Santa Barbara.  \n2008 B.E. in Electrical & Computer Engineering, Cornell University  \nProfessional Work  \n2013-2021 Graduate Student Researcher, AlloSphere Research Group, Univer  \nsity of California, Santa Barbara  \n2008 Intern, Cellular Server Division, SK Telecom  \n2005 Intern, Wireless Division, Samsung Research Institute  \nResidencies  \n2012 Ars Bioartica, Helsinki, Finland  \nAwards  \n2015-2017 Robert W Deutsch Foundation Fellow  \n2004-2008 Korean Government Scholoarship for Science/Engineering  \nPublications  \nK.

This is dependent on how the virtual reality (VR) system can manipulate our perception of spatial layout, which involves neurobiological processes of constructing a neural map of the peripersonal space, or the nearby space within our reach.
