Abstract

A collection of case studies that combine immersive technologies such as augmented and virtual reality in various contexts are introduced to outline some of the signals and trends in emerging interactive media. A series of authors share uses of AR/VR/MR in a wide range of fields including tourism, education, archeology, communication, and more. Common themes, affordance, and challenges are pulled out and used to extrapolate likely trends moving to the future. This work also starts to build an overall framework to evaluate immersive media implementation strategies and research methodologies.
