Top 100 Multimedia Trends in June

From VR Theme Park Experiences to Connected Hybrid Guitars

— July 2, 2016 — Tech
These June 2016 multimedia trends range from VR theme park experiences to connected hybrid guitars that make music more immersive for all. When examining the ever-evolving realm of virtual reality, standouts include reality-blurring social media campaigns and soccer broadcasts that are changing the way one experiences traditional and web-based entertainment.

Other notables include DIY VR headsets that are more accessible and affordable than most branded offerings in today's market. In addition to the month's VR innovations, these June 2016 multimedia trends also include peer-to-peer livestreaming platforms and eSports broadcasting hubs.

While YouTube's newest platform streams footage of sports-related gaming content in real time, gaming publisher Activision Blizzard's partnership with Facebook makes similar content accessible to the website's countless subscribers.
