The New Age of News

Since traditional TV news are so last season it is now time to take a step towards a new era of news. And this step is the utility of augmented reality in news broadcasting.

The news concept in a nutshell:

• Open TV news from any country.

• Point your special AR glasses (sold in your nearest technology stores) to the screen.

• Get a live translation of the news as an overlay on the screen. Toggle between channels and countries, or find trending topics in multiple news agencies. Integrate a separate Twitter feed of news channels on any flat, blank surface near you. The choice is yours.

• Enjoy your expanded experience of global news.

Initially the focus will be on the most recent breaking news of each country, crossing out the smaller gossip and daily weather - unless it proves to be the top story of the day. And as time passes and the New News take the lead, the scope can be expanded.

And why do we think this would engage the users enough to prompt them to buy the ridiculously expensive AR glasses? Aside from gaining the access to any news in any country without the eternal language barrier, it also offers a chance for the users to learn new languages of their liking. Don't believe that it's possible to learn a language by watching television? Just ask anyone who has watched their fair share of anime and mastered the Japanese language through that and you have your confirmation - all it takes is determination.

Last but not least, as already mentioned before Twitter is a fine platform to be integrated to the augmented reality news stream. To keep users engaged in the action, aside from official news channels's Twitter accounts the feed could also offer a possibility of user produced live streams from concerts, festivals and crime scenes - basically from anywhere where anything happens. In addition to Twitter, also Facebook and Periscope live stream services could be utilized.

So what are you still waiting for? Get your own pair of AR news glasses NOW and enter the future!
