Fig. 1

A visual representation of the point-of-entry (left) and portal-design (right) methodologies as applied to the broader event-level session. Note: The red arrows mark the point of intercept, whereby people are recruited to participate in the study. The phases (i.e., preloading, target-event, side-loading, and back-loading) of the event-level session are all interconnected by the straight lines. The dotted line signifies the trajectory a person makes as they transition through the phases of the session. The squares labeled ‘A’ and ‘B’ inside the target-event represent venues inside the NED. The doubled arrow connecting venues ‘A’ and ‘B’ denote a person’s ability to move between venues
