    <dct:description>&lt;p&gt;This paper studies the aspect of presence in a Virtual Reality (VR) environment that can be used for training purposes in the education sector and more specifically for teacher training and professional development. During the VR experience trainees&lt;br&gt; had the chance to view the world from different perspectives through the eyes of different characters appearing in the scene.&lt;br&gt; The experimental evaluation conducted aims to examine the effect of viewing the experience from different perspectives and&lt;br&gt; viewpoints in relation to the overall user experience and the level of presence achieved. To accomplish these objectives an&lt;br&gt; experiment was performed investigating presence and the correlation between presence and different viewpoints/perspectives.&lt;br&gt; To measure presence a combination of methods were used including two different questionnaires, the use of an eeg device,&lt;br&gt; EMOTIV EPOC+ and the analysis of heart rates. The results indicate that high levels of presence were recorded and that&lt;br&gt; increased levels of presence are associated with viewing the VE from a student rather than a teacher perspective.&lt;/p&gt;</dct:description>
