This is a great project and I look forward to 
hearing about what you do with it.  It is not my 
field but if it were my research project,  I 
would find as much information on this topic as 
possible (googling is easy), and create a 
bibliography of references. Skim through the 
material, jot down notes on what relates to you 
questions. Then come up with a few  new more 
target questions that shows that you have some 
knowledge of the area.  That will help anyone 
responding to better address your concerns/questions/etc.

Okay, will do in the immersive arts, etc.
