The doctoral research reviewed explored how immersive media and extended reality can be combined with reflective practice and philosophical traditions to create new forms of knowledge in creative practice. Drawing on autoethnography and practice-based inquiry, the work examined the potential of extended reality as a space for self-exploration, contemplation, and meaning-making. The thesis demonstrated originality by bringing immersive design into dialogue with Sufi philosophy and embodied cognition, extending discussions of how creative practice can generate both artistic and scholarly insights.
