Zone of Proximal Flow

Extract of Figure from Repenning,
A. "Programming Goes to School",

ZPF 10 Immersive Factors

1. Clear goals as challenge level and skill high level
2. Concentration and focused attention
3. Loss of feeling
4. Distorted sense of time
5. Direct and immediate feedback
6. Balance between ability level and challenge
7. Sense of personal control over the situation or activity
8. The activity is intrinsically rewarding, so there is an
effortlessness of action
9. Lack of awareness of bodily needs
10. Absorption into the activity


Engagement Factors

1. Perception via the senses
2. Action via the body/kinaesthetic – physical body
functions
3. Emotion via the heart – emotional & instinctual
nature functions
4. Cognition via the mind – rational consciousness
functions
5. Co-creativity via imagination & intuition –
higher consciousness thinking functions
6. Combinations of the above

Conclusion


Immersive Worlds
of the Present Future
Integration of Virtual & Augmented Reality
Technologies: Provide the user with
• Immersive multisensory stimuli (e.g.
touching, movement capture, haptic sensor)
• Emotional channels (e.g. affective computing)
• System adaptation & interoperability (e.g.
personalisation & multiple user interfaces)
• Novel & Unique Immersive eXperience+
