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.x, 83 leavesEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessImmersionPerceptionNew mediaVirtual realityVirtualActual immersiveP96.T42 A57 2009Mass media--Technological innovations.Visual perception.Perception.Virtual reality.ThesisBILKUTUPB116503
