Abstract
The aim of this study is to offer a new model for the
concept of immersion based on the process of perception in
humans. The motivation behind the study is that although
the concept of immersion points to an important experience
both in various media and daily life, current approaches to
the concept do not provide an analytical framework needed
for understanding it. This study offers a cognitive and
parameter based model which is based on the perception
theory put forward by Henri Bergson in his book Matter and
Memory. The model makes possible the analysis of the
concept of immersion in terms of various cognitive and
physical factors.
