Her first book, *ADDICTION BY DESIGN: Machine Gambling in Las Vegas* (Princeton University Press 2012), draws on extended research among compulsive gamblers and the designers of the slot machines they play to explore the relationship between technology design and the experience of addiction* (i.e., the relationships between immersive environments and the regulation of euphoric psychological states of flow, comment added)*. Her next book, *KEEPING TRACK: Sensor Technology, Self-Regulation, and the Data-Driven Life* (Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, under contract), concerns the rise of digital self-tracking technologies and the new modes of introspection and self-governance they engender. from Dr Schüll's website: https://www.natashadowschull.org/ Check out her website for articles and papers specifically focused on immersive *communication*.

Dear Community,

I am in the process of putting together my dissertation prospectus, and am looking for literature on immersive communication, particularly within the virtual reality space. In essence, I am looking for information on how immersive communication is operationalized, empirically. And if it appears to be more or less effective in generating user interest about the content being transmitted versus static communication. I would appreciate any and all leads.

Thank you all for your time.

Best, Urooj
