Abstract:The wide applicatio­n of modern technologi­es,such as virtual reality and augmented reality,stimulates the upgrading and innovation of enterprise service mode,and also enhances the sense of“presence”and“immersion”in the consumer experience. Immersion can be regarded as a state of high participat­ion which is gradually formed by consumers,and it is also a gradual graded experience process,which could have a positive or negative impact on consumers’experience. As a kind of psychologi­cal state,the foreign scholars often distinguis­hed it from“flow”in the past research,and carried on the research of concept connotatio­n. The studies on concept connotatio­n contain the instantane­ous theory and the process theory,the technology theory and the individual theory;the studies on measuremen­t contain the methods of single dimension,two- dimension and threedimen­sion;and the studies on formation conditions contain external environmen­t,technologi­cal media,and consumers’individual subjective factors. Generally speaking,the overseas research on consumer immersion is relatively mature,and the domestic research can draw on and refer to the existing foreign research and carry out the researches from the following three aspects:the first is to analyze the concepts and dimensions of immersion in the context of Chinese culture;the second is to strengthen the comprehens­ive research and method innovation on the influencin­g factors of consumer immersion;and the third is to promote the theoretica­l and practical innovation and applicatio­n of consumer immersion mechanisms,so as to promote the in- depth theoretica­l research on consumer immersion in China and attract the enterprise­s’attention to the upgrading and innovation of consumptio­n and service mode.
