The variety of modern user interfaces has brought forth an abundance of control mappings and feedback modalities that provide us access to the virtual world beyond the screen. In our daily interactions with computer systems, we may shapeshift from a simple arrow-shaped pointer on our laptop screen to a text caret, we spend hours dodging bullets or climbing crumbling towers in video games, or teleport across great spaces and shoot rays from our fingers in virtual reality. Without much effort and reflection, we adjust to the new set of abilities provided by well-designed user interfaces and easily accept the presence of (remote) collaborators in shared digital environments. But why and how does this work, and how does this change our perception and behavior? Aiming for a holistic view across heterogeneous computer systems, we propose the concept of "User Representations" to describe our digital proxies in the virtual world. In my talk I will discuss the main parameters of such User Representations, and how their characteristics can impact our experience of what we can (or can't) do where and how, and even who we are.
