This paper aims to investigate attitudes and practices through which heritage sites are reconstructed to accommodate remote authority between the user (authority), Avatar (simulated character), and the site (reconstructed heritage sites) that reshape the relationships of engagement with cultural heritage. Using Kantian Ethics theory, the paper would investigate the philosophical underpinning of mutual presence, the physical versus the virtual, and the ethical consequences on the virtual user, in the way it alters her/his visual and mental status of authority. The ethical and legal conduct in virtual heritage should not be underestimated as there are serious risks of depersonalisation, especially as fully immersive experiences have a bigger and more lasting impact on people’s behaviour and psychology.
