IMMERSION?沉浸/沉浸感

–?Term:?is?recurrent?in?reviews,?design vocabulary,?it's more?of?a?buzzword than?a?useful?term

在评论、设计词汇中经常出现，与其说是一个有用的术语，不如说是一个流行词

1. Active creates belief. (using objects and seeing them work as expected)
   1. Our brain automatically creates our own virtual reality.
2. Participation with a mask (Avatar, mask as transition object, as the boundary)
3. Collective participation with roles. (Other player, collective creation of belief)

1. 活动创造幻想。（使用对象并看到它们按预期工作）

（1） 我们的大脑会自动创造我们自己的虚拟现实。

2. 面具参与（化身，面具作为过渡对象，作为边界）

3. 角色的集体参与（其他玩家，集体创造信仰）

Note that: interactors in a virtual world need specific mechanics for physical contact, mechanics that deepen the fantasy without disrupting the immersive trance.

请注意：虚拟世界中的互动者需要特定的物理接触机制，这种机制需要是在不破坏沉浸式恍惚状态的情况下加深互动者的幻想。

/// Transitional objects 过度对象 ///

The thing that communicate the virtual reality and reality, it is both the gate and the boarder.

It can be the fourth wall. It is the threshold object that takes you in and leads you out of the experience. The boundary is needed for us to surrender to the enticements of the virtual environment.

过渡对象是沟通虚拟现实和现实的东西，既是进入虚拟世界的门，也是虚拟世界的边界。

它可以是第四面墙。它是将你带入，且引导你走出虚拟体验的门槛对象。我们需要一个边界来更好的、完全的屈服于虚拟环境的诱惑。（这个边界、物体可以让你安心沉醉，例如盗梦空间里的陀螺）
