Many of the top September 2015 multimedia concepts make the most of interaction design to deliver multi-sensory experiences. This includes messaging apps where it's possible to send "vibes" to contacts, tools to visualize Wi-Fi network signals and email platforms that put an emphasis on music discovery.
More immersive experiences in general are also being created with comic books that feature sounds to pair with visuals, as well as virtual reality movie theaters and tactile devices that change the way people perceive and ultimately experience sound.
These innovative multimedia devices are a reflection of the consumer desire to dive deeper with products and experiences and temporarily escape to a world where all of one's senses feel entirely new again.
