The next big thing that I see coming in the new media world is a virtual reality networking platform. Virtual reality and augmented reality are both two growing technologies in many aspects of our society. For virtual reality, we put on a set of goggles that will take us to another dimension, or a virtual reality. The way I see this happening is something like that of Animal Crossing on the switch. People will be able to create their own characters, who can look like they do in person or can be designed whatever character of their imagination. Maybe for security purposes, the user will have to take a selfie and the platform would create the virtual character for that person. People will have the ability to meet anyone they want, sort of like our social media now. The main difference is that you will be able to explore the world around you and be able to interact with others. You're no longer in a 2-D platform, you will now be in a 3-D environment. Right now, the technologies are not at that level or are too costly to work with. But I expect we should see something like this within the next decade, if not definitely by 2050.
File sharing is the ability to share data, aka files, from one user to another user. Usually, this would include things such as videos, documents, audio, and meta-data. This can be done through a system of networks or over the internet. This way the other person can see or have access to your files. P2P or Peer-to-Peer sharing is a community-based file sharing platform or way of sharing files. The files are added to a platform so anyone on the internet can have access to that file or files. Some popular examples of P2P file sharing are LimeWire and BitTorrent. These file-sharing platforms are basically like the wild west when it comes to sharing files. If someone manages to get access to top-secret files or ways to hack into a system, someone can post it up on here. Another example of P2P file-sharing system includes Lending Club. They have created this new platform for a, "more direct funding process between the investors and the borrowers ... There's no branch network. Eve...
Hey Marvin,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading through this post! Your idea to merge the internet’s capabilities with a virtual reality is not a business idea, it is truly an “industry” idea. The merger between augmented and virtual reality can pave the way for an entire industry worth of revenues and profits! I believe the merger of these two realities will come from the military, similar to how the internet was created. This is due to the fact that the military department in America has such high budgets that can afford to experiment and fail with merging the two a couple of times before creating a successful product or mechanism. Overall, great thinking!
Sincerely,
Scott.
Hello Marvin,
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great idea. Especially during times like this, Animal Crossing has becoming super popular with many players. This idea people creating their own characters seems like a real life video game! People would definitely love to get into this idea in the near future. Cool concept.
Best Regards,
Jesse
