Abstract

In the immersion process the border between the canvas and the spectator or between screen and user dissolves, and the distance or physical separation between virtual and physical space is no longer given. The self can expand into the virtual, to test its own boundaries by abandoning the materiality of the limited corpus (Ostermann and Wenzel 2011). This phenomenon can also be understood as a dialogue, an important exchange, which can be itself an illuminating experience for the self and the mind. If the subject is an individual in an auditorium and the object is changing between the physical space of a digital theatre surrounded by a 360° canvas and the virtual world on the canvas, how can the encounter or the immersion process be described and even more important: how can it be induced?
