I found it challenging to understand what researchers refer to when talking about #realism, #immersion, and #naturalness and the nuances between these. Thanks to @katjesjes for yesterday's talk at #CHI2022 "We need to give a clear definition of realism".

Inspiring @acm_chi presentations from around Scotland at the @SICSA_Scotland Pre-CHI event! #CHI2022. I empathise with @mike_crabb about having to re-design my first VR user study because pandemic started, and the uncertainty of running a successful online study at those times
