Abstract
The presentation titled "Connected Realities through Immersive Experiences" by Mona Nasser, delivered at the World Immersive Learning Labs Symposium 2024, explored the transformative potential of immersive experiences in blending cultures and disciplines to reimagine futures. Mona Nasser, director of Health and Care research and a professor in clinical epidemiology at the University of Plymouth, shared insights from her Meta Futurism Lab. This lab focuses on using scientific methodologies and inclusive approaches to integrate diverse cultural and community perspectives into futuristic narratives. During her talk, Nasser discussed the innovative use of immersive workshops to address complex scenarios such as managing epidemics on Mars, utilizing science fiction as a tool for enhancing participant engagement and creative problem-solving. These workshops not only challenge participants to handle uncertainties but also inspire imaginative solutions that cross cultural and disciplinary boundaries.
