FINAL REMINDER: Call for Articles

The mediated society: Living and working with immersive media technologies

Deadline for Articles: 16. March 2015



We are happy to accept articles for the peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary 
Yearbook of Immersive Media (Jahrbuch immersiver Medien). The 2015 issue 
is entitled “The mediated society: Living and working with immersive 
media technologies“.



The catchphrase of the “all embracing media” can be related the 
ubiquitous media in our daily life, but also to the fact that there 
seems to be more and more media, which actually immerse the users in a 
physical way. Such innovative media technologies are used in research 
and development, science and entertainment, but their paradigms of use 
are not nearly explored yet.

Because the media evolution progresses rapidly, we are forced to 
integrate new technologies into our life world, and it seems to make 
sense, to reflect and to anticipate this development scientific and 
conceptually. In the course of this we can only guess how the media of 
the future will look and work. However, reflections from media theory or 
feasibility studies like the Illumiroom by Samsung and Microsoft or 
Movies like Minority Report (2002), Gamer (2009) or Prometheus (2012), 
are showing us today what we might can expect from future media. But 
some immersive media technologies and aesthetic strategies of immersion 
are already present in almost all areas of our present daily life - in 
the entertainment sector, in teaching and research, in medicine or in 
our own living rooms.



The yearbook of immersive media is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary 
publication aimed at an international academic readership. The Yearbook 
invites to send articles dealing with themes like sound design, movie, 
virtual reality, augmented reality, gaming and game studies, Transmedia 
storytelling etc. applied to the concept of immersive experiences or 
media technologies.

Submitted articles must be original contributions that engage with the 
reflection of the (r)evolution of immersive media, the anticipation and 
design of new media technologies and applications or other related 
issues. Contributions should be 5000 to 8000 words in length. Please 
send an abstract, a brief biographical information and contact details 
and your article to Prof. Dr. Patrick Rupert-Kruse via: 
(immersive-medien /at/ fh-kiel.de). The deadline for articles is the 16. March 
2015. A style sheet can be obtained through our website at 
www.immersive-medien.de.
