Blog: Next New

A new media that does not exist is virtual reality social networking. I believe this will be very possible within the next five years. How I imagine it is that use of virtual reality gear such as the Oculus Rift to have a virtual face to face conversation with someone. We will have the option to select a background and music to chat in.  A gear will be used to scan your face and body to display a completely realistic replica. I can visualize this new type of media being either an add-on to Facebook/Skype, or a completely new company. Since we have both the technology to create virtual images of ourselves and the technology to connect with a virtual reality gear, this type of media will be the next new thing.
