Watching video change over the last decade has been a surreal experience. When I was seven years old, I never imagined that the cell phone would evolve into what it is today. I was always jealous that my older sister had a flip phone; I never knew that when I got a cell phone of my own, I would be able to watch movies, take high-quality photos, or FaceTime someone, let alone multiple people at a time. It is impressive to see how fast video has changed in a short amount of time; even then, it is hard to imagine what will come next, but I still have some ideas.
I predict that videos will become more immersive. A few months ago, I came across a TikTok where someone was instructing viewers to put on headphones to listen to the audio. When doing so, it sounds like you were present during a concert.
This is called 8D audio. 8D audio "tricks your brain into thinking that there is more space than there actually is." Regardless of how it would work, it would be interesting to see this added to streaming and movies from home. It would be like an IMAX movie theater, but with a way to make the film seem more immersive. We see this type of immersive content in places such as Disney World.Mickey's PhilharMagicis an immersive ride on the Disney property. The ride uses 3D glasses and special effects to create an immersive experience for the audience and make them feel that everything around them is happening right in front of them.
Creating an experience like Mickey's PhilharMagic takes a lot of room and technology. To pull something like this off in your own home is almost impossible; however, with where technology is now, we may be able to pull it off on a smaller scale. Currently, virtual reality has created immersive content right before your eyes.
Technology such as virtual reality and other immersive tech has already been revolutionary. I see us continuing to take it a step forward. Currently, the issue with VR that restricts many from using it is motion sickness. In the future, I hope this isn't an issue. Immersive content can change the lives of those who are unable to experience things otherwise.
We have seen VR used for gaming and even in theme parks for rides. In the years to come, VR will hopefully become something we can't even imagine now, creating a more immersive experience for entertainment in gaming and streaming. I cannot even imagine how immersive evolutionary content will be in the years to come. As I continue to grow older and watch technology change before my eyes, I will always be inspired and amazed by how our minds work and how we can create things that seemed impossible only a few decades ago.
Evolution of Video: How We Have Video as We Know It "What should I do for my Wild Card paper?" When I asked my parents this question, I was not expecting the reaction I received. Once I explained the topic had to relate to video, my dad's eyes lit up, and he started explaining how much video had changed since he was a kid. He started shaking his phone around, saying, "kids today just don't understand how amazing this is." My parents began telling me stories about how you had to rewind tapes before returning them to the store and how when my dad filmed things in high school, it required a giant video camera and a lengthy editing process. My mom mentioned how revolutionary streaming services are for us today. This conversation made me realize how much video has genuinely changed. Today would seem like science fiction to a person one hundred years ago. It made me wonder, "what were the significant developments in video over the years?" Throughout th...
Personal Video Habits It is very seldom that I do not watch videos during the day. At a younger age, I would spend a lot of my time on our family-shared computer after school. Of course, part of that time was spent arguing with my siblings about what we watched, listened to, or played; however, we would almost always end up on youtube, watching music videos or videos we found funny. Now that we are older and have our own video habits, we watch different things. For me, TikTok has taken up a large portion of my screen time, as well as multiple streaming services, and of course, Youtube. TikTok has dominated the social media world in only a few short years. Unfortunately, I have become one of the many people of my generation who struggle to escape the app. One second I find myself with some free time and open TikTok, the next second, it has suddenly been an hour, and it seems as if I have only watched five one-minute videos. One of the most exciting aspects of TikTok is...
Product Placement Everyone knows that they will see advertisements when they walk into a movie theater. After all, it is one of the most exciting things about going to the movies. I always enjoy discussing what movies I want to see with my family and friends as the advertisements play. Many people will view advertisements as a way to stay entertained before a film starts; however, did you know that the advertisements often continue after the film has begun? Product Placement has always been a fascinating topic to me. I will constantly point out product placements as I watch films and television. When I see a character drinking a can of Coke on the screen, I immediately know the motive behind it. You may not even realize that product placements have worked on you. For example, while watching television, you may see a group of people obviously eating at a McDonald's. Later, you may turn off the tv and ask yourself, why do I want to go to McDonald's so bad? I am here to t...
