AR/VR Researchers Bring Immersive Experience to News Stories

It hasn’t been long since consumers put down the newspaper and picked up their phones to get their news.

It may not be long before augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR) headsets cause them to keep their phones in their pockets when they want to read The New York Times or The Washington Post.

Data visualization and AR/VR researchers at Georgia Tech are exploring how users can interact with news stories through AR/VR headsets and are determining which stories are best suited for virtual presentation.
