Abstract
Presence, the felt experience of “being there" in virtual environments, is central to immersive VR, yet its dynamic structure is underexplored. Most prior work treats presence as static or analyzes isolated modalities, limiting both theory and application. We introduce PresenceLens, a computational framework that models presence as a temporally evolving, multimodal phenomenon. Using synchronized visual, auditory, gaze, and interaction data from 120 participants across 20 VR applications, PresenceLens identifies eight recurring patterns linked to high presence. These patterns evolve over time in distinct trajectories and form the basis of Pattern Orchestration Theory, which conceptualizes presence as the temporal coordination of perceptual, cognitive, and interactive processes. Our model achieves high predictive accuracy (R^2=0.64) and provides interpretable mappings between real-time behavior and subjective presence. This work links theory and temporal modeling, enabling VR systems to dynamically adapt to evolving user states.
