Immersive technologies such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), spatial audio and artificial intelligence (AI) now present rich avenues for the creative industries, capable of transforming our cultural and media experiences. But they also pose new kinds of methodological challenges for researchers and makers, and the central question at the heart of this special issue is: /What role does immersive media play in the design of new research practices? /How, for example, can we best engage with the innate hybridity of immersive media, given the way that VR experiences often incorporate elements from performance, games, film, art installations and even theme parks? If AI is in some way capable of re-imagining our relationships with daily life, then how are these kinds of technologies reshaping research practices too? How might immersive media more generally impact our interpretation of audience or user responses across the creative industry landscape? And is now the time to develop new kinds of research practices based on the affordances of immersive technologies?

This special issue of IJCMR engages with these questions by exploring the ways in which different disciplines and different corners of the creative industries are approaching the task of researching (with) immersive media technologies and their audiences. Articles span a range of cutting-edge practice-as-research topics, comprising VR film, AR games, immersive sound, mixed-reality performance, art installations, immersive marketing, and uses of immersive media as new forms of audience engagement, cultural heritage, and academia-industry R&D.

Enjoy the content, and please share widely.
