Eintreten in imaginäre Räume. Der Avatar als Funktion der Immersion im phantastischen Rollenspiel

Author(s): Berger, FlorianFlöter, Laura

Abstract

Fantasy Role-playing as a term describes a range of non-digital games which bring together physical participation and visual imagination. The avatar as an agent of the player is in the focus of that process. It constitutes the main function of immersive experiences, both structural and as in regards to content, which are comparable to written fiction. Immersion in Role-playing means transcending physical reality into an imaginary space, whose contents the players create and interact with. As a medium that solely focusses on establishing inner immersive visual experiences, it should systematically be included in future research.
