“…Exploring cognitive interaction beyond our sensory systems may also reinforce immersive experiences. One of our pilot studies [77] tentatively suggests that it may be possible to shape user experiences without any direct physical, sensory, and social interactions. Figure 15 shows an example of how an experience can be shaped without any direct interactions.…”

Design Engineering is an innovative field that usually combines a number of disciplines, such as material science, mechanics, electronics, and/or biochemistry, etc. New immersive technologies, such as Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), are currently in the process of being widely adapted in various engineering fields. It is a proven fact that the modeling of spatial structures is supported by immersive exploration. But the field of Design Engineering reaches beyond standard engineering tasks. With this review paper we want to achieve the following: define the term “Immersive Design Engineering”, discuss a number of recent immersive technologies in this context, and provide an inspiring overview of work that belongs to, or is related to the field of Immersive Design Engineering. Finally, the paper concludes with definitions of research questions as well as a number of suggestions for future developments.

“…However, when there are no humans in its environment-detected by no sound, no motion and no light-it secretly starts to emit beams and rays of stunning colors/lights by rotating a prism, which no human can ever see (right). Although it practically provides no interaction, our pilot study suggests such a decoupled phenomenon could produce a certain joyful perception through cognitive/perceptual cycle [5]. This research considers both constructivism and phenomenology as useful approaches / tools / methods to investigate qualitative aspects of human experiences.…”

Exploring farther into our solar system for planetary exploration will require the human crews to reside in their space transfer habitats for a long period of time. These explorers will also face isolation, owing to the sheer physical distance from the Earth, which may eventually affect their health and well-being. Furthermore, looking at a trip to Mars, astronauts will have to wait for at least forty minutes to receive updated round communications from Earth, due to the time it takes for the signal to travel the separation distance at the speed of light. Thus, when it comes to longduration crewed space missions, communication and the feeling of connection with their loved ones-friends and family-on Earth is crucial for the astronauts' well-being. In this context, exploring a new communication approach for long-duration spaceflight seems necessary for our missions to Mars. This paper attempts to introduce a new way of decoupled communication that enables astronauts to connect with their feelings towards their loved ones on Earth via embedded interactions, focusing on the idea of "qualitative contact". The idea of qualitative contact was inspired by one of our previous studies on the concept of "qualitative interface" in relation to HCI (Human-Computer Interaction), then extended to our case study for human-object interactions. Much of how we construct meaning in the real world tends to be qualitative rather than quantitative. Yet quantification has become a default method for displaying, presenting and communicating information. In this paper, we explore beyond the idea of ordinary distance communication and information exchange during deep space exploration. We introduce how human explorers in a space transfer habitat can qualitatively contact their loved ones on Earth during their long-duration space missions. We discuss our design processes, which includes the study of human-centredness, communication barriers, the ideation process, and prototype development with a boundary-object based demonstration. We believe that our communication method or tool could stimulate ideas for space habitat designs beyond today's technological solutions for long-duration and long-distance space missions. By advancing the astronauts' physiological and psychological well-being, human explorers could venture to expand our civilization deeper into the solar system. What are the ways to make astronauts feel connected with their family and friends back on Earth during their long-duration space missions? Here we share the idea of qualitative contact through a device we call Martian Delight-a device intended to advance the astronauts' well-being.
