ZPF


ZPF 10 Immersive Factors

1. Clear goals as challenge level and skill high level 2. Concentration and focused attention3. Loss of feeling4. Distorted sense of time5. Direct and immediate feedback6. Balance between ability level and challenge 7. Sense of personal control over the situation or activity8. The activity is intrinsically rewarding, so there is an

effortlessness of action9. Lack of awareness of bodily needs10. Absorption into the activity


Engagement Factors

1. Perception via the senses 2. Action via the body/kinaesthetic – physical body

functions3. Emotion via the heart – emotional & instinctual

nature functions4. Cognition via the mind – rational consciousness

functions5. Co-creativity via imagination & intuition – higher

consciousness thinking functions 6. Combinations of the above

Immersive Worlds of the Present Future

Integration of Virtual & Augmented Reality Technologies: Provide the user with• Immersive multisensory stimuli (e.g. touching,

movement capture, haptic sensor) • Emotional channels (e.g. affective computing) • System adaptation & interoperability (e.g.

personalisation & multiple user interfaces)• Novel & Unique Immersive eXperience+

Create a Strong Vibration to Remember
