The Future - When New Media and Social Media Collide

This month we hosted the NW Audiovisualist’s (NWAV.org) monthly event in Portland, Oregon to highlight creativity and technology. Below is a summary of the event to spark new ideas that tie into the above notions social + real-time intereractive media. 

I believe that we are in a massive cycle of convergence that will re-create the notion of “social media”. Today, social media is more about “social” than “media” because the media production tools are still somewhat fragmented, expensive and hard to integrate quickly.  This next year we will see this rapidly change with the launch of the Apple iPad and downward pricing pressure on multimedia laptops, Pico Projectors, HD video cameras and other converging technologies.

Soon we will start to see collaborative music and media production across social networks in real-time.

Multi-Touch screens, computer vision, gestural inputs via FLIR thermal…

Augmented Reality Demos - Real Virtual Record Scratching & Virtual Pets

In my opinion the augmented reality space has unlimited creativity potential for all types of commercial and non-commercial applications. Tied with social media and all of the internet real-time API’s out there I am sure that “AR” will be the next wave of convergence that merges the internet with video, video games, geo-location services, social media, and more to become a massive global marketing channel.

Here is a very cool demo for Augmented Reality record scratching.
