Mediating Presence: Immersive Experience Design Workbook for UX Designers, Filmmakers, Artists, and Content Creators provides the foundation
About this Event

: Immersive Experience Design Workbook for UX Designers, Filmmakers, Artists, and Content Creators provides the foundation for a broader understanding of the impact of XR as the next medium. The methods presented draw from a wide range of disciplines and professional practice to provide a practical guide to design methods, production techniques, best practices, and terminology that provides an effective road map for developing immersive experiences using augmented reality, virtual reality, augmented virtuality, and other emerging immersive media forms.

In this book, media designers Peter (Zak) Zakrzewski and David Tamés present a comprehensive framework for XR media experience design (XRXD) that will allow UX designers, filmmakers, artists, and content creators to connect their audiences to rich, multimodal, immersive experiences for entertainment, learning, creating, and healing. This book guides the reader through a 12+1-step design-based model for creating XR experiences. Each step is accompanied by specific media design methods expressly created for or adapted to XR content creation. The theoretical concepts and methods covered address the specific context and meaning aspects of the XR media environments being created.
