-2:45pm

Technology is creating new forms of experiencing stories with the power to change how we see and understand news. Through experiments in augmented reality, people can view a place or a story superimposed with layers of historical context, immerse themselves in an environment or situation, or graft a faraway scene onto their own living rooms. Is this the future of journalism or a byway, and what are the implications of these new frontiers?

This panel is presented in partnership with MIT Open Documentary Lab.
