Immersive Io3MT Environments: Design Guidelines, Use Cases and Future Directions

The Internet of Multisensory, Multimedia, and Mu-sical Things (Io3MT) is an emerging field at the intersection of computer science, arts, and humanities. It focuses on integrating technologies and datasets to explore human sensory perception, multimedia elements, and musical compositions for artistic and entertainment purposes. This position paper advocates for merging Io3mtwith Extended Reality (XR) in creative contexts. Through literature review and expert focus group discussions, we have identified five key design guidelines that aid in the development of immersive environments for artistic creation within the Io3mtframework. We developed PhysioDrum as a practical demonstration of these guidelines. This work provides insights into the infrastructure, tools, opportunities, and research challenges arising from integrating Io3mtand XR.
