Rutgers professor explains virtual reality in new book
Dr. John Pavlik, a professor of Journalism and Media Studies at the School of Communication and Information, published his new book called “Journalism in the Age of Virtual Reality: How Experiential Media Are Transforming News” in September.
In his book, Pavlik discussed the idea of experiential news, an emerging kind of journalism which allows the public to virtually be immersed in the news and to experience it for themselves. Increasingly, news told through virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) gives the public the opportunity to experience the news from a first-person perspective, rather than the typical third-person perspective.
Pavlik credited Nonny de la Peña, a journalist, for coming up with the idea of allowing the public to be virtual eyewitnesses to news.
