Abstract: Presence levels were assessed after engaging in a meditation exercise across different mediums (audio-only, computer screen, VR). Engagement levels differed significantly between VR and computer-based delivery, though no significant difference in spatial presence was found. Results suggest VR may enhance presence in meditation compared to traditional methods.
