For the question of exploring the relationship between people in an immersive environment, I found an article that also defined the several relationships between people in a virtual environment. This article has reference value for me. Because I don't think the several relationships, which were defined in the article, exists in the immersive experience installation. Then some of the perspectives in the article are instructive to me, such as the relationship between the supervisor and the surgeon who performed the procedure during the procedure mentioned in the article. Bringing this situation into my research for analysis, it is true that the audience is only in the work, but not involved in the work, especially in interactive immersive devices, such as Oculus. As a result, I took into account the role of the audience who were indeed in the immersive space but did not participate in work, which would make my analysis more comprehensive.
For example, in the future park, by Teamlab, the most active participants are children, and many parents who do not interact with the project are just standing around the children. I was considering if there is a relationship between these parents and children because of this work?

For non-existent relationships, such as the division of two people and multiple people into two situations in the article. I think this is rare in art works, or does not exist. Because I feel that in an immersive space, if it is not afraid of affecting the effect of the work, it is impossible that it will limit the number of viewers. For example, only two people were allowed get into the installations of Yayoi Kusama every one time, and to stay two minutes.
