This paper provides a reflection about presence and telepresence concepts in the use of emergent Digital-Virtual Technologies (DVTs), particularly concerning 3D Digital-Virtual Worlds - 3D-DVWs. It reports telepresence experience driven by avatars designed to be used in processes of 3D-DVWs interaction.<br>This paper provides a reflection about presence and telepresence concepts in the use of emergent Digital-Virtual Technologies (DVTs), particularly concerning 3D Digital-Virtual Worlds - 3D-DVWs.
