The reality of tomorrow will not be static. We're here to bring you a daily look into the cutting edge innovations poised to merge the impossible worlds of our imagination with real life. We're NextReality.
What We're All About
We're about to take a leap into the future that intends to connect the digital and physical worlds more closely than ever before. The technology of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality is right around the corner and it will change how we work, play, and communicate.
NextReality is where we'll be tracking the latest developments in these fields, getting our hands dirty testing the technology out and working with developers to explore new ways of using it. We've really only seen the very beginning of what this technology can do, and we are all still exploring the possibilities.
We've already gotten started. We've profiled various hardware options, software prototypes coming out of hackathons and from enthusiasts, and looked at the effects these new realities are already having on people around the world. If you want to check out what we've been up to so far, here's a good sample to start with:

These new realities we're forging in the digital world will inform, shape, and alter the physical world we already know. They can bring the impossible to life and change what we see everywhere we go. As things progress, they may encompass our other senses as well. We're here to cover it all, from the greatest new apps and concept software to how different parts of these evolving technologies work. We'll talk to experts to find out where we're headed next, learn about the risks these new realities bring, and help build this new future as a community. Here are a few things we have planned in the near future:
- VR/AR/MR event coverage like conferences put on by SIGGRAPH and VRLA.
- Deep dives into new hardware when it becomes available, like the Meta 2, to see what they're like, how they work, and what you can expect to experience in various applications.
- Tutorials on how to use these new technologies and their software.
- Profiles of existing software and previews of upcoming apps and games that push these technologies forward.
- Expert voices contributing to many of these discussions, such as how certain things work and what we can expect to see in the future. Video interviews, too!
- Troubleshooting help, as we learn what sorts of user problems exist and need to be solved.
That's a general overview of what's coming, but we're still brainstorming all sorts of things. You can contribute, too! Keep reading for all the ways you can submit your ideas so we can cover what you want to read about.
