What is “immersive”?

The basic idea of ??flow theory is very simple, but it is very powerful to explain the state of people’s devotion to one thing.

The core of flow theory is that people can achieve a state of flow when skills and challenges match. The flow experience is the best experience for human beings. It is the state where we can be immersed in the current situation and forget the real world when the challenges we are currently facing are matched with our own abilities.

We can imagine the following, what game will make you devote yourself to sleepless nights, it must be the kind of challenge, and we judge ourselves to be able to deal with this challenge based on the known conditions. If it is too difficult, it is estimated that you will give up after trying a few times, and people will become more and more anxious, and they will not feel the fun and satisfaction they should have in the process. And if it’s too simple, we get bored and quickly give up on the experience at the time.
The flow experience is the best experience for human beings. It is precisely in the state where the challenges we are currently facing and our own abilities match. We can achieve the aforementioned state of being immersed in the current situation and forgetting the real world, so often There will be what we think is just a few games played and the time has gone from noon to dark.

It is the original creation of the Chinese and a special product of the transformation of China’s tourism industry to humanistic tourism and cultural tourism.

In this type of performance, the concept of stage and auditorium is broken, such as “See Pingyao Again”, the space is divided into several different themed spaces, there is no front hall, no main entrance, no auditorium and traditional stage . The complicated and peculiar spatial division makes the audience feel like entering a labyrinth. The audience, like ordinary residents, wandered loosely in Pingyao City in the late Qing Dynasty, peeping at the clues of the story from scenes such as the escort bureau, Zhao’s compound, the market, and Nanmen Square. Many audiences were moved to tears by the plot in the unique drama experience, and felt a strong cultural atmosphere through the immersive drama experience.

Taking the well-known immersive entertainment product “teamLab: The World of Water Particles in Oil Tanks” immersive experience exhibition as an example, the space is used to present a psychedelic world that breaks through reality for the participants. Flowers bloom and fall in the water all year round, sometimes gathering into a sea of ??flowers, and sometimes disappearing… The dreamy virtual flower sea created by computer programs interacts with the participants in it in real time.
