+''Presentations of game worlds as entities within these game worlds would perceive them.''
 Games that present game worlds to players can do this in various ways. When the presentation is done by tying it to what a diegetic character would perceive, this is called [[First-Person Views]]. Even if the name suggests vision-based information, other senses such as hearing and touch are also implied to be presented as if a diegetic character experienced them if they are available at all.

 Not too surprising, [[First-Person Views]] are not directly compatible with [[God Views]] and [[Third-Person Views]], with an exception for [[Third-Person Views]] when mirrors, cameras, or other devices (e.g. the portals in the [[Portal series]]) allow [[Avatars]] to see themselves. Given that players may have personal preferences on what kind of view they may want to have or that some views are advantageous in some gameplay situations, it is quite common to provide players with a [[Freedom of Choice]] between [[First-Person Views]] and [[Third-Person Views]] (reasons why one may not want to let players have this freedom can be that it may ruin [[Surprises]]. Games can also automatically switch presentation styles to match actions. For example, some games with [[Third-Person Views]] provides [[First-Person Views]] to help with [[Aim & Shoot]] actions, and this can be found in [[The Legend of Zelda series]]. Others such as the [[Battlefield series]], which primarily use [[First-Person Views]] introduce [[Third-Person Views]] when showing [[Killcams]]. In addition, [[Cutscenes]] may be used to change perspectives temporarily in all types of games.
-Two basic options exist for modifying [[First-Person Views]]. The first option is to use [[Point of Interest Indications]] to highlight things the diegetic characters may notice; the second is to consider if [[Vision Modes]] should be available to support that the [[Avatars]] have augmented or additional sensory capabilities (e.g. seeing infrared light or having night vision or radar equipment). Both these options create [[Player/Character Skill Composites]] and implied [[Characters]] (since perceptive abilities are abstract qualities of [[Characters]]).

 The basic use of [[First-Person Views]] is to provide players with presentations of [[Game Worlds]]. They can however also be used to provide [[Public Information]] focused upon specific parts of [[Game Worlds]] to [[Spectators]] and thereby make [[Spatial Engrossment]] possible for them as well.
