What is immersion?Immersion is the state of consciousness where an immersant's awareness of physical self is diminished or lost by being surrounded in an engrossing total environment; often artificial.[1]

This mental state is frequently accompanied with spatial excess, intense focus, a distorted sense of time, and effortless action.[2]
