Author guidelines
The manuscript should have a maximum length of around 7000 words and should be submitted as a link to a Google-docs document with public commenting turned on. It is also possible to submit a link to a similar cloud-service with commenting functionality, or simply as a Word-document. The documents will be made available on the workshop website.
The chapter must contribute original content, and demonstrate how it adds to existing literature and knowledge. The participants should clarify how they define the notion of immersion they adopt, and take care to describe the experiential character of the cases it wishes to discuss. Keep in mind the requirements in the original call.
Since the aim of the volume is to exhibit a variety of immersive experiences, we encourage the authors to include more general reflections about what is peculiar about the character of immersive experiences in the medium or context that the contribution is about.
As the volume will be interdisciplinary, the contributions should be written in a manner that make them understandable by students and scholars in other fields.
