Emotional Immersion is the type of immersion when the user feels emotionally aroused and absorbed by the narrative content of the story. Different from spatial immersion, emotional immersion does not necessarily allow users to feel the “bodily presence” into the scene, but allow them to be cognitively identified and emotionally empathized with one of the characters of the story or avatars in the game world
