Suggest a new type of "new media" that doesn't currently exist. Describe it.
What will be the next new? Samsung's always says "the next big thing" when promoting for their mobile phones. With each new mobile device, we find that there is new creativity and innovations. When they launched the S7 cell phone, promotions for their Virtual Reality Headset started the race of the better VR eventhough it has been here for a while.
Some have taken a step into the VR world even for a proposal, see video.
Others have taken a step into a different VR experience with a Smellable VR.
Even if the new type of media doesn't expand to a greater depth into the VR world, it could also step into the Augmented Reality world. AR world is both the current world with some of the virtual world. Pokemon Go started it with their mobile app by catching Pokemon with its AR mode. Currently from the same makers that produced Pokemon Go is stepping into Harry Potter. Niantic has confirmed a Harry Potter based AR game. If you're a Harry Potter fan, you could read more about it here.
Not going to lie, I feel some type of way where a marriage proposal is done in virtual reality, but I can also see how this method could give someone their dream proposal at a way lower cost.
ReplyDeleteHi Amy,
ReplyDeleteI think Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality will definitely be the future of technology. I know that many businesses have already incorporated VR and AR into their business models. I believe I saw videos of people in Japan getting married to their "virtual" girlfriends. I have also saw people in Japan attending music concerts held by a "virtual" anime singer. Although, I think these concepts of utilizing VR are a bit too extreme, I feel like it is still a good idea of how VR can reshape our society.
I personally dislike augmented reality, however I do see a big market for it. I believe the new generation will find it very fun to use since the concept of AR is futuristic.
