Abstract: We give geometric formulae which enable us to detect (completely in some cases) the regular homotopy class of an immersion with trivial normal bundle of a closed oriented 3-manifold into 5-space. These are analogues of the geometric formulae for the Smale invariants due to Ekholm and the second author. As a corollary, we show that two embeddings into 5-space of a closed oriented 3-manifold with no 2-torsion in the second cohomology are regularly homotopic if and only if they have Seifert surfaces with the same signature. We also show that there exist two embeddings $F_0$ and $$ of the 3-torus $T^3$ with the following properties: (1) $F_{0}sharph$ is regularly homotopic to $F_8$ for some immersion $$, and (2) the immersion $h$ as above cannot be chosen from a regular homotopy class containing an embedding.
