> Add in monocular cues of depth perception like motion parallax and lighting, and you get a startling level of presence, especially if viewers can’t move.
Sounds like they're talking about the same thing. :)
> The one exception arrived when the film cut to the interior of a cave. Up until this point, every shot had been outdoors or underwater. They looked good but didn’t really showcase the Sphere’s strengths as a wraparound display, since it’s easier to fool depth perception with a clear blue sky versus a detailed interior. But gazing up at the walls and ceiling of the cave, I genuinely felt like I was there.

Yeah, this sounds exactly like 'presence' for a seated VR experience. And I suppose for the same reason: no matter where you look, there the Sphere or VRHMD is.
Sounds like they're talking about the same thing. :)
