>> 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.
