Abstract

This note introduces the notion of immersive technologies, accompanies a presentation and by starting to think about the nature of such systems we develop a position that questions existing preconceptions of immersive technologies. In order to accomplish this, we take a series of technologies that we have developed at the Mixed Reality Lab and present a vignette based on each of these technologies in order to stimulate debate and discussion at the workshop. Each of these technologies has its own particular qualities and are ideal for 'speculative' approaches to designing interactive possibilities. This short paper also starts to examine how qualitative approaches such as autoethnography can be used to understand and unpack our interaction and feelings about these technologies.
