The Next New Thing

A new type of "new media" that I envision is a holographic copy of an object or person, and can be decorated. It will of course be affordable (hopefully). More specifically for instance, a holographic version of yourself, standing in front of a mirror or wall and you will have the ability to change your holographic form--you can see yourself in different clothing, which makes it easier to see how clothes will look on you in the future. You can also prepare to dress yourself in the clothes in your closet with their holographic form. 
Basically, a technology that allows you to dress yourself and change outfits and decide what you want to wear or look like, in holographic form in the same size, etc of exactly how you would actually look if you were to really do it. This technology could go on to be in stores and malls, where you wouldn't need to actually try on clothes, but will have the option to see how the article of clothing would look on you. It can also work for haircuts, make-up, etc. How exciting would that be!

  1. That's actually a great idea. The haircut part really caught my attention since you can't change your hair cut back if you don't like it. I would also add to that a feature that uses hologram technology to precisely measure your size for shirts, shoes, etc, since I always have a problem finding the perfect fit, especially when shopping online.

  2. I think this is a really good idea! People always struggle and wish they could see how they look in certain clothes through other people's eyes. This would make deciding what to wear a lot easier and faster for everyone. Even if this new technology was on the expensive side, I feel like many people would still purchase it in hopes of making their outfit experience much easier.

  3. Hi Victoria, I think this is a really interesting idea! Seeing things on the hanger is not the same as seeing the clothes on yourself. This could be a great idea when you don't want to wait on line for the fitting room or when you're shopping online and you don't know if it will look good on you. It would make our shopping experience a lot quicker and more convenient! -Jenny Ng (jennyngx3.wordpress.com)

  4. This is a more elaborate version of what I suggested. My idea was just to have holograms for interaction, sort of like FaceTime but with holograms. This is more interactive and would be a good idea if implemented. There have been plenty of times where I buy clothes online, and while they look good on the models on the ads, the clothes sometimes don't fit me as expected. This will help me out determine whether or not something would look good on me before making that impulse online purchase.
