The International Journal on Stereo & Immersive Media (IJSIM) is an open access and peer-reviewed journal that reflects on our progressively immersive media culture. It has a historical and critical perspective about immersion by considering that it draws both on state of the art technologies and on old and discontinued media that have once stimulated and expanded our perception. While these technologies (from stereoviews to cinema, virtual reality or video gaming) have deeply strengthened the human relationship to virtual worlds, they have also made visual documents more engaging, offering them richer and inspiring interpretations of reality.
