- Immersive design
Immersive Design is a design philosophy, coined by
Production Designer Alex McDowell [ [http://www.designtaxi.com/news.jsp?id=18721&monthview=0&month=5&year=2008 Design News - Reviewing fmx/08 Which Happened In Stuttgart, Germany - TAXI Design Network ] ] [ [http://www.vfxworld.com/?sa=adv&code=3631a5a1&atype=news&id=23257 >> VFXWorld / News << ] ] that attempts to describe the evolving framework of designers and creators who work immersively in allnarrative media. Immersive designers deal simultaneously with dimensional environments and who and what they contain; and with time-basednarrative time and occupied space.The immersive design process attempts to describe two simultaneous entwined tasks:
* To design intact worlds that are coherent, have interior logic, contain history, geography, surface, metaphor and story, and allow an audience to be fully immersed in both environment and story.
* To put in place a non-linear immersive process that provides a fully collaborative, often virtual production space for creators and the work that they are creating.New technology has enabled both of these aspects of immersive design to exist. New design tools create a virtual workspace for a new way of working, an intuitive three-dimensional design language and vision. New non-linear workflows allows the designer to set up a new production practice that allows the creators to make traditional and new narrative media with new creativity and functionality.
