IMMERSIVEME

Immersive Media Experiences

Immersive media has the potential for strong impact on users’ emotions, their sense of presence and engagement, and increasingly, users are enjoying and technology is supporting their involvement by capturing, producing, sharing and accessing information from their perspectives and experiences, over the Internet, in social media, and through video on demand services through iTV. We have been witnessing an increase in the amount of content and devices for capturing, viewing and sensing, a lot of them portable and offering tremendous opportunities for immersion, user participation and personalization. The integration of different media formats, including 3D content, panoramic displays, multiviews, as well as the possibility of delivering and accessing content through different communication vehicles, promote the development of a new participatory paradigm and enable new perceptual user experiences that provide more realistic, engaging, joyful and immersive involvement.
