Chip maker Advanced Micro Devices and the news organization Associated Press are teaming up to collaborate on “virtual reality journalism.”
That means AP will use AMD technology to create media that can be
viewed in virtual reality with VR headsets such as the Oculus Rift and
the HTC Vive. The collaboration shows that the immersiveness of VR could
profoundly affect the way that news is delivered to increasingly
tech-savvy audiences. So far, VR has been viewed as a new platform that
will feature games and entertainment. But for VR to live up to the
expectation of being a $30 billion market by 2020 (as predicted by tech
advisor Digi-Capital), usage will have to spread beyond those sectors.
Both the 170-year-old AP and AMD believe that VR will change the media industry by bringing “humanity’s defining moments to life.”

Three is poised to become the first major
European mobile operator to block online advertising on its network,
signalling a clash with digital publishers and advertising companies.
It is understood that Three, which runs operators in half a dozen
European countries including the UK, will next week announce a deal with
Shine, a controversial Israeli technology company that specialises in
blocking mobile advertising.
