>> 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 by January 28th.

>> Thank you very much for your time,
