VR Immersive Podcasts

Scenario 1: VR Immersive Podcasts

Imagine being able to step inside your favourite podcast. Not just listening, not just watching but as a participant without leaving your home! Virtual reality provides the listener the opportunity to experience podcasts as an active participant. Watch your favourite hosts, ask questions, and consume content in an immersive environment. "Transform a simple audio session into a captivating audio encounter" (Stark, 2024). Whether a podcaster or a listener, the idea of combining the technology of virtual reality within the forum of podcasts is an exciting possibility that is just beginning to gain traction.

"With spatial audio, podcasters can enhance listener immersion and engagement in both Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) settings. This technology enables podcasters to create audio experiences that give listeners the feeling of being in the same room as the hosts or guests, making for a truly immersive podcasting experience" (CatchFly team, 2024)

Mobility: Join a podcast from anywhere in the world. Be it from your living room,  classroom, or hotel room, the ability to engage in an immersive experience across the country, or the world is made possible through VR technologies such as  Google Cardboard or Oculus Quest
