Using Pine and Gilmore's (1999) two dimensions of experience, participation (passive <--> active)and connection (absorption <--> immersion), the authors define immersion as "becoming physically or virtually a part of the experience itself" as opposed to absorption which is "directing attention to an experience that is brought to mind" and use these two definitions to define four realms of experience: Entertainment -- absorption and passive participation Educational -- absorption and active participation Aesthetic -- immersion and passive participation Escapist -- immersion and active participation Gameplay is escapist.
Use McMahan's (2003) three conditions that are required to "create a sense of immersion in digital games: the conventions of the game matching the user expectations, meaningful things to do for the player, and a consistent game world."
An example of one of the questionnaire statements relating to sensory immersion: "The sounds of the game overran the other sounds from the environment".
Paraphrasing Pine (1999) and Gilmore, "immersion means becoming physically or virtually a part of the experience itself"

There are five elements at the top level of the ontology: Interface: "mapping between the embodied reactions of the player and the manipulation of game entities" Rules: constraints and possibilities. Gamplay and Gameworld (define the virtual world's physics for example) rules. Goals: "define success in the game". Short-term or long-term goals. Entities: "objects within the game that the player manages, modifies or interacts with at some level" Entity Manipulation: "encompasses the alteration of the game mode either by the player or by in-game entities". Some entities have abilities (permanent or temporary) while others are static. Entities may also have attributes (properties). An ability is consciously actioned by a player while an attribute occurs or exists automatically.
