The Weight of Immersion

The Weight of Immersion Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand Yoobee College of Creative Innovation Abstract 2026.

  • Immersive AR design is not neutral; it redistributes the costs of play across spatial, somatic, and social domains rather than eliminating them.
  • Handheld AR systems (HHDs) prioritize large-scale geolocational play but frequently reduce situational awareness, leading to distracted behavior and environmental disregard.
  • Head-mounted displays (HMDs) enhance embodied interaction but introduce significant physical fatigue and social ambiguity when used in public spaces.
