> *****************************************************************************

> Hello colleagues,
>
> *At your institution, do you currently have any "immersive" exhibits (single
> exhibits, not entire exhibitions)? *
>
> We are defining an exhibit as *immersive* if it incorporates *any, not
> necessarily all*, of the following design characteristics:
> a. *Vertical surround*: Aspects of the exhibit extend over the visitor's
> head or under the visitor's feet. Examples include larger-than-life
> walk-through exhibits like the heart at the Franklin institute and exhibits
> that you crawl inside, such as caves and coal mines.
> b. *Horizontal surround*: Aspects of the exhibit extend behind the
> visitor's back (literally). Examples include exhibits that you enter into,
> such as a cave, but not exhibits that you walk through, such as a tunnel at
> an aquarium.
> c. *Kinesthetic Involvement*: Enables the use of the visitor's whole
> body to navigate/explore the space or to investigate and explore a
> phenomenon (this is beyond walking through on a flat floor/stairs or
> sitting in a chair). Examples include crawling through a maze or casting
> colored shadows of your body on a wall, but not exhibits where visitors
> simply walk through a space.

> We're just looking for a "yes" or "no" response. If you could, please reply
