SXSW Interactive 2016
Sucked Into the Story: Virtual Reality and News
Description:
Enter the Singapore Airline A380 suite class cabin and you’ll see 3-foot wide seats that turn into beds with linens and pillows. Not alone? The middle seats become a double bed.
Thanks to virtual reality, you don’t have to pay $12,000 to sample the ultimate in luxury. And you could use the same technology to visit a Syrian battlefield or the Siberian tundra.
Each new publishing technology alters how we experience news, and VR promises the next revolution by immersing us deep in a story. Though ethical and tech challenges remain.
Join AP, POV, Vice and The Reynolds Journalism Institute for a conversation about what’s worked, what hasn't and what’s next for the newest news medium.
