As you can see, immersion has a myriad of concepts and subtleties in each of these definitions, although there are some similarities in most of them as well. One of them, the quote from Steve Poynter, is just plain wrong, as it defines immersion, at least from a journalistic perspective, as being nothing more than interactivity. As explained previously, interaction in games, or in this case a digitally-presented news piece, can be stated in the simplest terms as the player’s (or reader’s) choices or decisions, as expressed through his manipulation of some element of the game interface, changing something in the virtual world of the game.
Interactive Fiction. If we can't decide what to call it, how can anyone hope to explain it? And does whatever it is even fit into any of these labels anyway? Regardless of which name we ultimately choose to apply, Alternate Reality Gaming is a rapidly emerging game genre and is one of the first true art and entertainment forms developed from and exclusively for the Internet. So what exactly is an alternate reality game and why are they suddenly so popular? First of all, as the name implies, an alternate reality game, or ARG for short, is a game of sorts, that takes place on the Internet, although it's nothing at all like most Internet or video games you may have played in the past.

The only interfaces in alternate reality games appear to be the same ones regularly used to communicate with the real world. ” Game Space Finally, alternate reality games, unlike every other game genre, have no defined playing field or game space. They do originate and take place predominantly online, but by employing such things as phone calls, instant messaging, and real world encounters, immersive games transcend the limitations of the Internet and reach into the everyday world of the player.
