Video Game Immersion Paper

This is a paper written while at NKU, as a research project for a class that then evolved into a research project into video game immersion. Delving deeply into the research and current literature, I realized there was a significant gap in understanding what causes immersion in video games. As a result I came up with a hypothesis globally unifying all viable theories for the causes of video game immersion and elaborating on their relationships. The paper was subsequently submitted to the IEEE organization CGAMES 2013 international conference and selected for presentation and publishing.This is a paper written while at NKU, as a research project for a class that then evolved into a research project into video game immersion.
