What is an "immersive environment"

[mrlacey]

"immersive environment" could mean lots of things. Can this be made clearer?

Thanks! I'm investigating.

UPDATE: I'm changing the term to "app window".

'Immersive environment" is now out of date. It refers to Windows 8 where "immersive" apps ran in a different environment from the desktop. The immersive environment and the desktop environment each had their own scale factor.
