Choi, Yung-kyun(Assistant Professor, Dept. of Advertising,

The paper is purposed to investigate
the effects of multi- modality in a 3-dimensional website
when consumers interact with a product. To test hypotheses,
176 undergraduate students participated in an experiment
that is composed of 3 conditions : 2D static website
without audio, 3D interactive site without audio, vs.
3D site with audio sounds. The result found higher level
of presence and more favorable attitudes toward the
advertisement and toward the brand in 3D with audio
condition than others. This one indicates that multi-
modal sensory cues are important to persuade consumers
making the virtual experience more plausible in addition
to 3D interaction. Theoretical and managerial implications
are followed.
key word : virtual experience, presence, multi-modality,
