MARKET REALITY: Augmented & Virtual Reality Represent Leading Growth Segment in Entertainment & Media

A report by PwC highlights that immersive experiences in augmented and virtual reality represent the fastest growing segment of the entertainment and media industry over the next six years. News from two companies working in the industry, Fox and NetDragon, underscore the growth forecast.

Globally, virtual reality (which includes augmented reality in PwC's report) is forecasted to expand at a 77.9 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in entertainment and media through 2021. In the US alone, the category is predicted to grow at 64.0 percent CAGR over the same period.

By comparison, the second-fastest growth segment, E-Sports, is growing at 21.7 and 22.6 percent CAGR, respectively.

The company forecasts a rise in the importance of user experience, where AR/VR plays a role in content delivery and immersive experiences.

"The next era of differentiation in entertainment and media is being defined and propelled by consumers' increased demand for live, immersive, shareable experiences. Consumers want to get closer, more engaged and better connected with the stories they love – both in the physical and digital worlds," said Deborah Bothun, PwC's Global Entertainment & Media Leader via news release.

Learning meditation is important because there is nothing inherently stuck about us – we are not just material beings but spiritual beings with a deep inner life and indeed infinite capacity for freedom.

No one likes suffering, and my heart goes out to everyone right now because no one seems unaffected by this disconcerting new “normal”, whatever normal ever meant or…

Getting Your VR Fix in Seattle | Seattle VR: Demos and Experiences MeetUp

We did a story earlier this year on where to find other HW nerds in Seattle. But what if you want to specifically find VR nerds? Wonder no more! In this article, we give you a peek inside a huge monthly VR MeetUp in Seattle. It’s a sure spot for a chance to demo VR games and VR experiences and network with fellow weirdos. This group also encompasses AR and immersive tech.

I give you: Seattle VR:…

Backstory’s Immersive Program/Set

Helmets are always the same, be it the active or seated immersive sets.

The helmet covers the whole face so that it can read what your face looks like: lips when speaking, eyes (where they’re looking, somewhat), etc.

There are holes/vent so that it doesn’t heat up or get humid from your breathing, since I know how bad it feels. So disgusting and overheated that you can’t stand more than ten seconds. So yeah. Let’s have some circulation in the helmet.

Then at the back, there’s a small bit that sticks to your neck and is flexible, to help the computer interact with your nervous system/brain a bit better.

In the seated, your on a chair that holds you securely enough in place that you won’t hurt yourself, and you don’t really register what you’re doing. You’re just... sitting there, still, in real life. The only time you move is when you hit the disconnect button, on the outer side of the chair’s armrest. It releases you from the game, setting your character onto autopilot and notifying your phone if anything occurs.

In the movement/active immersive, you’re on a platform (that should be slightly larger than your height), wearing a chest harness, gloves, shoes/socks, elbow- and knee-pads, and waist/leg harness. Of course you’ve got the helmet too.

In this one, you’re actually moving, and if you ‘sit down,’ there’s edges around it for sitting down. It’s also more expensive to get since it’s so detailed - magnetism, suspension, etc.

That’s all I got for now on the immersive tech, and I hope you guys are interested!

New idea

Working with a story that I’m really hoping to publish someday, I’m coming up with a way to develop the world - it’s called Backstory, and it’s like an immersive sort of reality program. I’ll add more later for ya! (use the Backstory tag to find it)
