Ar, vr and other experimental media: shaping the future of content.

Ar (augmented reality)- or digital content layered in near real-time onto user"s real world experience via mobile or wearable device. Vr (virtual reality)- or supplanting user"s direct world experience with computer-mediated via headset or volumetric display. Ultra-high-definition video platforms (8k uhd 240 frames per second) enveloping user in lifelike audio/visual display, and, Al-driven digital voice assistants that pass turing test (this technology- alexa- have been evolving so much the will eventually seem like a person) Oculus rift (wearable platform for immersive games, news stories, cinematic vr) Founder palmer luckey (journalism major, 2012 launch on kickstarter million and then facebook bought it for . 5 billion) Interned with immersive journalism nonny de la pena (godmother of vr)
