Next New

I do agree that there are many different types of new media yet to be found or brought to the attention of the public. I think one thing that has not been done yet is 3-D interactive group chat rooms. Now, I do understand that chatrooms have been done, but I was thinking about the combination between VR and people conferences to make real life like 3-D conferences where people can walk around in their own rooms, but inside their headset they would be walking around meeting with other people who are on the same headset. It would broadcast their face as they walk around with the usual audio and visual. I think if something like this was implemented that people would be able to take advantage of this by using it to network and maybe even implement it educationally. This could be used in classrooms to project them and talk to people in more isolated areas of the world where people are doing research. it would provide real life experiences without the danger and even real time question and answer sessions.

  1. This is a great idea! There are factors to in-person conversations, and discussions, that online conversations tends to lack. This use of VR would allow people to engage in face-to-face conversation, where people are more easily able to express their ideas through body language and facial expressions.

  2. Woah I didn't even think of this! This would definitely change the way interviews or just talking to people online would be revolutionized. There are so many things people can't see through a video or voice chat and people can't read each other's body languages. Hopefully something like this could be implemented as soon as possible.

  3. This is amazing! My new media was extremely similar to this! I predicted that this type of technology would probably be implemented as an add-on to Facebook chat or Skype. It is definitely an achievable task with today's technology, but the most important question lies on who would be willing to create such product.
