An
immersive digital environment is an
artificial,
interactive, computer-created
scene or "world" within which a user can immerse themselves.Immersive Digital Environments could be thought of as synonymous with
Virtual Reality, but without the implication that actual "reality" is being simulated. An Immersive Digital Environment could be a model of
reality, but it could also be a complete fantasy
user interface or
abstraction, as long as the user of the environment is immersed within it. The definition of
immersion is wide and variable, but here it is assumed to mean simply that the user feels like they are part of the simulated "
universe". The success with which an immersive digital environment can actually immerse the
user is dependent on many factors such as believable
3D graphics,
surround sound, interactive user-input and other factors such as simplicity, functionality and potential for enjoyment. New technologies are currently under development which claim to bring realistic environmental effects to the players' environment - effects like wind, seat vibration and ambient lighting.

L'immersion ou état immersif est un psychologique où le sujet cesse de se rendre compte de son propre état physique. Il est fréquemment accompagné d'une intense
concentration, d'une notion perturbée du
temps et de la
réalité. Le terme est largement répandu dans le milieu de l'
informatique, de la
réalité virtuelle, et des
jeux vidéo MMORPG, mais il est peut être employé à tort comme mot à la mode, un "
buzzword". Dans ce cas, sa signification est intentionnellement vague, mais reste appréciée pour sa connotation particulièrement captivante.
