Blog: Next New

I based my idea off of my personal interests. For me, going to art museums or cooking was always something I loved doing. Unfortunately, I don't have much time to invest in those hobbies. It would be really neat if, in the future of new media, it would allow a room to convert into different art rooms. The art museum will have a helmet and a floor that resembles a treadmill. When you enter the room, the helmet will stimulate images as if you are walking into the museum it is set to. In the helmet it triggers certain nerves that make you think the art is real. For example, lets pretend there is an exhibit that allows you to touch it. The room itself is empty but the helmet will trigger your nerves and when you reach and "touch the object", it feels like you're touching it but you really would be scooping up air. As you walk "around the museum" the floor moves slowly like a treadmill so it seems as if you are walking on the floor towards another room, but really you're in the same room with a slow moving floor. You may also take photos of the art as you go. The phone will sync up to the helmet/room. As you take photos it will capture what you think you see and send that image to your phone. So, it stimulates a setting as if you're going to the museum but without having to wait on line and be in a crowded environment.
