*Submission Deadline: Full papers due March 15, 2024*

The sense of immersion and presence in online environments such as the
metaverse are key to their success. Users may even experience an optimal
state of experience termed flow. People get into flow during various
leisure and everyday activities. Flow theory by Csikszentmihalyi (1990)
describes characteristics of flow experience and the antecedent conditions.
The theory has been used in various fields to examine people’s subjective
experience in different situations, such as playing chess, composing music,
and performing surgery. Since the late 1980s, researchers have used
the flow concept
to explain the usage of information technology. A sizable body of research
has accumulated in the IS literature, which includes studies on immersion,
presence, and cognitive absorption.

The goal of this THCI special issue is to invite submissions that address
the phenomenon of immersion, presence, and flow to enhance our
understanding of human computer interaction or to extend the flow theory in
the context of user experience, especially with regards to how the theory
has been applied and advanced in information systems research. Examples of
questions include: To what degree can the flow theory help create immersive
user experience in human-computer interaction? What other variables may
need to be considered to maximize user experience in human-computer
interaction?
Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

   - Critical review of flow research in IS
   - Advances in measuring flow experience
   - Flow and immersive experience with emerging technologies, such as
   Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), and Virtual Reality (VR)
   - Flow experience beyond individuals
   - Flow experience in business education
   - Flow and performance in organizations
   - Determinants of the intensity and duration of the flow experience
   - Factors detrimental to attaining and prolonging flow states
