This document proposes the Immersive Hall System 2.0, which aims to improve immersive media art experiences. Research found that current immersive exhibitions lacked engagement due to a lack of interaction and too many people. The system includes multiplayer active shutter glasses and a versatile band to provide new, astonishing interactions. The band would offer various tactile feedback modes for use in different contexts. Renderings and models show how the glasses and band could work with an immersive hall installation to increase immersion through multiplayer and tactile interactions.

6. Answers from
User Research Do you think it is immersive?
Immersive media art exhibition doesn’t really provide immersiveness in their artwork. There
was too many people in one venue, they weren’t concentrating to the art.
Does interaction matter to you? Why is that?
They wanted more interactions to engage. Interactions make immersive media art sometimes
realistic, and sometimes playful, making audience to really get in to the media art.
Strength of immersive media art
Scale of the immersive media art is considered positive - possible to use the room, giving
more presence to the immersive media art, resulting in an enhanced immersiveness.
What interactions they want?
Using interactions as wow factors of the media content. They wanted something new,
something that they didn’t expect. Realistic interactions were preferred. The interactions
stimulating audience’s senses helped immersive media art become ‘immersive’.
Figuring out how interactions work makes them think that this is the dead end and the artwork
is over. Not making it so simple, and making them to use it repetitively seems important.
What kind of interfaces did they want for immersive media art?
They wanted something new, something ambient. At some point, it should be easy to
estimate or expect, but they wanted an wow point.

• Immersiveness
2. References that evoke the emotion
• Universal Studio and Disney world
• Books
• Workout

1) Universal Studio & Disney world
• Storylines
• Subtle interfaces & technology - not enabling audiences to know how
it works
2) Books
• Also, Storylines
• It does not have interactions, but it enables you to “imagine” your own
world, resulting in enhanced immersiveness
• Feelings of a paper, sound and tactile feedback of

3) Workout
• Constant positive feedback of a growing muscle
• Tactile interface
