The Next New Thing
It has come to my attention that a lot of our classmates have mentioned a more advanced level of VR being the future of "new media." As someone who has worked at CNN this past semester as a human resources intern, my interest has peaked in the transition between old media and new media, i.e. news sourcing from newspapers to digital news sources. It would be neat to combine VR with news broadcasting as anchors are reporting breaking news coverage or other news reports from other areas of the world. This way viewers can be a part of the action and environment that the news anchor is, and to gain a better point of view and understanding of the current events that are going on in the world. People desire the truth for what is real and just/unjust, so to blend breaking news events so that a person from anywhere in the world can "see" would be another step for mankind.

I have noticed same thing too.. I think is high time to do more research on that
ReplyDeleteIt would be pretty cool if viewers could experience breaking news firsthand with virtual reality technologies. This would for sure increase involvement among audiences and help them to view first hand what is just/unjust like you mentioned.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very interesting and great idea. Since there are many people who are skeptical about the news, virtual reality can help them experience it for themselves. This would help many viewers see news up-close and understand it from their own perspective rather than just hearing other people talk about it.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is great that you had the opportunity to intern at CNN this past summer, congratulations. I see you mentioned VR, in what way would you you incorporate virtual reality? If that is what you meant.
