> Talk - Immersive Research: A Methodology for Remote Contextual Research
>
> Ever growing broadband penetration rates, ubiquitous digital media, XML
> driven social software, and connected wireless devices have provided
> researchers the technological tools to remotely capture day-to-day customer
> experiences literally as they unfold. However, developments in methodology
> have trailed those in technology, with many trying to simply mimic offline
> research approaches. This presentation introduces the idea of Immersive
> Research - a methodological framework that treats online as a distinct
> research medium with its own strengths, weaknesses and conventions. It will
> describe the anatomy of an Immersive Research study and demonstrate the
> possibilities of this research through case studies. This talk will also
> include a brief demonstration of  Revelation – a web application developed
> specifically for conducting Immersive Research studies
