| Abstract | The path to reaching the ultimate in immersive, alternate space is long and broad. Mixed reality experiences already exist, but more engaging content is needed to help drive forward innovation and reach the ultimate goal of what currently seems an impossible dream – a physically immersive world that can be controlled by technology to interact with users in ways that appear to be magic and can include alien landscapes, alternate physics, highly sophisticated artificial intelligences, and consumables like scents or food. ❧ Until this ultimate technology is achieved, designers, engineers, artists, and storytellers must work together to create experiences which utilize illusion and elements of everything from theater sets to fantastic visual displays. Creating an illusion that feels highly immersive requires lots of design planning, iteration, and engineering; but it should make interesting content available to the public and help to encourage other designers and engineers to continue to push the current limits of technology in future to keep moving towards the epitome of immersive experiences. |
